Gandallero
A freeloader who shows up whenever there is something good to benefit from but disappears the moment effort, money, or work is required. Used in Venezuela. The gandallero has a nose for free food, good parties, and easy opportunities, but conveniently goes missing when the bill arrives or it is time to chip in.
