Red-faced Woodland-Warbler
Phylloscopus laetus
Small pretty warbler. Green on the upperparts, red on the face and throat, and white on the belly. Found in montane forest, mostly in the mid-story and canopy. Like other woodland-warblers, active and always on the move. The distinctive song consists of higher and lower “spit” notes that are quickly alternated in a sort of very loose trill. Similar to Brown Woodland-Warbler, but paler on the belly, with more red on the face and throat.

Pirre Warbler
Basileuterus ignotus
This warbler has an extremely limited range near the border of Panama and Colombia. The head pattern is distinctive; look for the bold white eyebrow and reddish crown. Otherwise brownish overall, slightly paler below, with pink legs and bill. Sexes similar. Found in pairs in the understory of humid montane forest from around 1,200–1,650 m, sometimes following mixed-species flocks.

White-bellied Hummingbird
Elliotomyia chionogaster
Medium-sized hummingbird of middle and high elevations. Green above, white below, with a pinkish lower mandible. Found around forest edges and scrubby open habitats. Distinguished with care from the very similar Green-and-white Hummingbird by the white extending lower onto the underside of the tail, and by its sometimes lighter pink lower mandible; it is also typically found in more open habitats than that species.

Sulawesi Ground Dove
Gallicolumba tristigmata
A stocky, short-tailed forest pigeon. Shows a diagnostic head pattern, with yellow forehead, green upper nape, and burgundy collar. Back, wings, and tail dark brown, with gray outer tail feathers. Underside grayish, with soft yellow wash on the breast. Juvenile browner, with rusty edges to feathers. Singles or pairs forage on the floor inside montane forest. Typically runs away rather than flying. Restricted to Sulawesi island, where no other similar species occur. Gives a deep hooting call, sometimes with a barely audible introductory note: “whooo-whooo” or “w-whooo-w-whooo.”
