Varig 777 At AV Maintenance Hangar In Bogota

I was transiting in Puente Aereo in Bogota last night and while being bused to the international terminal I had a glimpse at what I am sure was a B777 in the former Varig livery. I saw it thorugh a gap in the gates inside one of the hangars in the maintenance area next to the domestic Avianca terminal. Any thoughts of wisdom on what this aircraft is currently doing there at AV base?

Regards

I would be suprised if any 777s are still in RG livery as most went to other carriers. I thought it was :

PP-VRA -AM-2Q8ER
PP-VRB-AM-2Q8ER
PP-VRC-scrapped-236A
PP-VRD-private jet later impounded by conversion company-236A
PP-VRE-TSO-222A
PP-VRF-TSO-222A
PP-VRI-TSO-222ER
PP-VRJ-TSO-222ER

It is a B767, the hangars in the AV facility will not fit a B777. AV was contracted for doing a major service and will be painted in the new colors for GOL Brazil.

Thanks for the answer. It was just a glimpse and it was not clear if it was a 777. Cheers all
