ID of a bird with four colors. (1 Viewer)

[Luis_gls]

Hi, I'm trying to ID a bird I saw yesterday. I'm not good at describing but it's a medium sized bird that has four colors from tail to head: blue, green, orange and yellow. I saw it in Guerrero, Mexico if that help.
Note: The colors are distributed on the bird as sections, as if the bird were divided into four parts and each part had one of these colors.
I know it's not easy to identify a bird with these few and unprescient clues, I'm just trying my luck.

No, the colors were similarly and equally distributed. Like four parts of the same size. And the bird was a little bit bigger.

could it be one of these or similar

First thought was Gouldian finch - they're found worldwide as cagebirds.
There are several different colors but the pattern is like this:

But they're quite small.

Second thought was a trogon or motmot - but that's been covered already.

Third idea - how about a green jay? No orange but otherwise not too far off:

PS maybe we shouldn't give up on buntings too easily - how about Painted?
