Crimson-winged Woodpecker

Small, fairly colorful bird with a typical warbler shape. The head is mostly gray, the upperparts olive-green, the upper breast whitish, and the belly and lower breast rich yellow. Found in lush woodland and savanna. An active, restless bird that is usually in small groups. Similar to Yellow-bellied Eremomela, but longer-tailed and brighter overall, with a greener back and yellow extending up onto the lower breast. The apalis-like song is a long series of low-pitched “whichew” notes, usually given at dawn. The calls include a short trill and low scratchy notes. These calls are often given in chorus by a whole group. 

Fairly common but easily overlooked in lowlands and foothills of central Chile. Found in matorral, scrub and adjacent semiopen areas with bushes. Presence can be revealed by bulky stick nests placed in bushes. Fairly skulking, keeping mainly to bushes and other cover, but also runs well on the ground, tail held cocked; often in pairs. Plumage relatively distinctive with whitish eyebrow, buffy to cinnamon flanks, and dark tail. Northern desert populations are paler and grayer overall while southern populations in humid areas are darker overall.

Chunky medium-sized tanager found in Andean cloud forests from Colombia to Bolivia. Yellow below and black above with blue patch on shoulder and blue edges on wing and tail feathers. Conspicuous yellow crown. Some variation across range; population on east slope of Andes in Colombia and Ecuador shows mossy green back. Generally quite common; a core member of mixed-species flocks from 1,200–2,500 m. Can be found in forests, edges, and gardens.
