Cinnamon-vented Piha

Dull-brown laughingthrush with a dark throat, speckled orange breast, and a thin ochre-orange line curving elegantly over the eye. Dark bill is heavy-looking and somewhat corvid-like. Restricted to the Langbian Plateau in southern Vietnam, where it is unlikely to be confused with any other species. Inhabits foothill and submontane forest, forest edge, and scrubby areas with dense ground cover. Forages low in dense vegetation or on the ground, usually in pairs of flocks. Can be difficult to see as it scratches about furtively. Musical song is quite beautiful and incorporates some mimicry.

Shy and inconspicuous flycatcher of lowland and foothill rainforest in western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Plumage is mostly olive with yellowish streaks on underparts, gray eyering, and brown patches in wings. Bill is very wide at the base, though this may not be evident when the bird is seen from the side. Similar to Fulvous-breasted Flatbill, but Pacific lacks tawny breast and is usually found at lower elevations. Also similar to Olivaceous Flatbill, but has brown (not yellow) in the wings. Typically found alone or in pairs at fairly low levels inside the forest, and sometimes joins mixed-species flocks.

A fairly small bird of montane forest. Blue-gray plumage, with contrasting blackish wings and tail. Perches low down, often on diagonal branches or vertical mossy trunks, flicking its tail and scanning the ground for insects. Very similar to Smoky Robin, but Blue-gray has a distinct bluish tinge to the gray, lacks the paler belly and has more contrasting black wing feathers. Several different vocalizations, including mournful, monotonous whistles, an up-and-down, whistled jumble and a rasp.
