Buff-throated Saltator (Saltator maximus)

Buff-throated Saltator (Saltator maximus) at La Quinta, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica

www.birdforum.net

Looks good for ssp. magnoides? The location (Buff-throated Saltator - BirdForum Opus) is in north-eastern Costa Rica (Sarapiquí (canton) - Wikipedia). The black band around the throat appears thicker (Buff-throated Saltator) than in ssp. intermedius (Buff-throated Saltator).

That's not a Buff-breasted Saltator. As per eBird's Photo ID, is it a (juvenile/immature) Cinnamon-bellied Saltator (Cinnamon-bellied Saltator - Saltator grandis - Media Search - Macaulay Library and eBird)? It would be the first--or second (Cinnamon-bellied Saltator)--juvenile/immature of this species for the Gallery.
