The Red Crowned Pilated is so similar, with just a 20% difference in wingspan, that it is hard to rule on any sighting.
29.5 inch wingspan versus 36. Big bird versus very big bird. The wing coloring, which to me makes up the other main identifier is so elusive, open for a second and then gone, that I would not feel sure without extensive photos from a top lens.
