Pin-tailed Parrotfinch

Fairly small, slim cuckooshrike in which males and females are strikingly different. Males have dark gray upperparts, pale gray underparts, and black wings and tail. Females have brown upperparts, a whitish throat, and otherwise rufous underparts. Both sexes have pale marks at the tip of the tail. The juvenile is a drastically different-looking brownish bird with strong wing bars and unmarked buff underparts. Rare and local in remnant patches of humid forest on the island of Mauritius. The song is a quick, slightly accelerating series of nasal whistles. Within its small range, most similar to Mauritius Bulbul, but easily separated by many details, including the lack of an orange bill. 

Small, fairly plain, brown-and-orange robin-like bird. The tail is rufous-brown, and a good view will reveal gray markings on the face. Found in the understory and mid-story of montane forest. Shy and inconspicuous. The song is a soft, repeated “brrr” that is easily missed. Extremely similar to Lowland Akalat, but has orange rather than brown flanks, and found at higher elevations. Also similar to White-bellied Robin-Chat, but separated by uniform rather than black-and-orange tail.

Fairly small hummingbird with limited range near the coast from extreme southeast Panama to northwest Ecuador. Males are distinctive: mostly green with a bluish crown and throat, white undertail coverts, and a white stripe up the belly. Note bright red bill with a black tip. Females have dingy whitish underparts with some green spotting on the neck and flanks; look for reddish bill base. Occurs in scrubby second growth and mangroves in coastal lowlands, most often seen around a flowering tree or shrub.
