I am not familiar with birds from Costa Rica but I am familiar with birds from Peru and also somewhat from Mexico. Your bird is a Motmot but the exact species I am uncertain - possibly the Blue-crowned Motmot if that birds lives there but could be another species easily. Momotus momota?

When I saw your question I immediately thought of being a smart ass and suggesting a name, but looks like I need to get in line.

I think that it is a Turquoise-browed Motmot.

Yes!!! Thank you. Googling for "motmot costarica", I found out that this amazing bird is indeed a Blue-crowned Motmot. See link HERE (external link).
Thanks again!!!
