Attestations from sources in English: 

ZACUAN, Montezuma Oropendola (Psarocolius montezumae) [FC: 20-21 Çaquan] “Troupial. It is pointed of bill; the feathers over the nose are chili-red. Everywhere [over the body] its feathers are tawny. And for this reason it is called çaquan (zaquan, zacuan); its tail is yellow, very yellow, intense yellow... but there are black [feathers] which cover it, which also underlie it. When its spreads its tail, then the yellow shows through. The black ones show splendor, radiate like a flame; like embers, like gold the show through.” “Troupial” is misleading, as that name now applies to a South American oriole. This is the Montezuma Oropendola, a distant relative of the Troupial.
