Yellow-streaked Greenbul

Plump ground-dwelling dove, small for a quail-dove and much darker overall compared with the others. Overall dark grayish with contrasting white face and cheek. Lower belly is whitish, fading to a buffy vent. Pinkish-red legs. Sexes alike. Prefers forests, usually on the ground unless flushed up into the lower levels of a tree. Like most quail-doves, often best seen by quietly walking along trails at dawn and dusk.

Colorful tanager found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes. Male is brilliant green with a bluish tinge to head and underparts, dark throat, and orange patch on neck and rump. In southern Peru and Bolivia, male also has a broad sapphire stripe on underparts. Female and immature are duller with smaller orange neck patches, and blue on underparts is much reduced or lacking entirely. Usually encountered following mixed-species canopy flocks.

Minute woodpecker of lowland and foothill forests, where it forages in areas with dense low vegetation at the lower and middle levels. Predominantly rusty orange, with an olive-green crown and wings and a small but bright white eyebrow; the very similar Rufous Piculet lacks a pale brow. Male White-broweds have a bright yellow patch on the forehead which females lack. Often solitary, but can be found in small flocks and mixed-species foraging groups. Gives an explosive, squeaky, often descending chatter and sharp “chip” notes.
