Zopilote
An opportunist or freeloader who swoops in to take advantage of a situation just like the vulture (zopilote) it is named after, waiting for things to fall apart before moving in for the gain. In Mexico and Central America, a zopilote always shows up when the work is done and the food is ready, never when it is time to contribute.
