Can't seem to find a match for this one.

Parque Bicentenario December 2023

Any help appreciated.

Slightly difficult due to how its wings are positioned but I believe that your bird is a Chilean Mockingbird, any more photos?
The distinctive malar stripe, tail appears quite long (in comparison to the Patagonian mockingbird) and the greater coverts, secondaries and primaries are not dark as you would expect them to appear on a Patagonian mockingbird.

Only got one pose unfortunately - slightly different pic attached.

Think you've probably nailed it though 👍

I'm pretty confident on the ID, just wanted to see whether you got any photo's where the wings weren't obstructing the flanks. The patterning on the undertail as well seems to be better for a chilean mockingbird- 1800

Great pictures btw.

Thanks very much for ID & compliment

No doubt in my mind that this is a mockingbird, and I agree Chilean it must be.
