Crazy Mockers! My goodness, I have scads of them here this year. I have 2 pairs nesting in the yard about 150 feet apart. That is amazing to me because they are so territorial. There are lots of squables between them, but they press on. One of my males goes to the top of a telepone pole and constantly jumps up and down while he sings. They will also sing loudly for you at 3am!!! :o)

In knowing a bit about birds, I can tell this bird is a woodpecker. That led me toward the ID quite easily, even without knowledge of Costa Rican species. See the link I provided to find it. Perhaps you could verify that this website has the species named correctly, as I only spend a few seconds on this. Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.costaricabirdingtours.com/toucans.html

The best approach to a baby bird on the ground is to put it back in the nest if possible or on a branch if it seems that it has just fledged. Second best for an obvious too early fledge is to rig a small container solidly just above where the baby is sitting, but out of immediate harm's way from pets and other interested individuals, animal and human. You can watch with binoculars and shoo away those unwanted visitors and to see if the parents are returning to the baby--they may be encouraging them to fly farther afield by withholding feeding. After a prolonged period of time without parental attention, relative to the age and species the baby could be taken to a rescue center. Call them first before transport. Not every center takes every species of animal but they will advise you. Be aware of nest bird parasites.
