Mindoro Scops-Owl

A plain, sparrow-sized honeyeater with a slender, downcurved bill like a sunbird’s. Entirely rich olive above, plain gray on face and throat, with a yellow wash on the underparts. Restricted to the islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, and Flores. Plainer than Indonesian Honeyeater, lacking that species’ prominent pale facial skin, yellow wing panel, and a dark mask. Sunda is also noticeably more yellow underneath. Calls include a constant twittering, a nasal “jeez,” and a guttural “grrt.”

Dark, medium-sized flycatcher of the Andes from Venezuela to Peru. Almost all chocolate-brown with slightly paler eyebrow and wingbars, and conspicuous cinnamon underwings in flight. Sexes similar. Compare with Streak-throated Bush-Tyrant, which has an orangish belly and streaked throat. Most often found singly in middle to upper levels of forest and edge from around 2,000–3,400 m. Sometimes perches conspicuously.

Big and chunky rainforest cotinga with a long tail. Found in the canopy of montane forests where it can be locally common, but hard to see. Striking plumage with a black head, yellow collar and belly, and a chestnut back with black and yellow edging to the wings. The iris is dark brown. Females are similar but duller. The song is a distinctive and far-carrying explosive whistled “wreep-wrepoo.”
