Cuzco Warbler
Myiothlypis chrysogaster
Small warbler found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes from central Peru to western Bolivia. It has yellow underparts, olive upperparts, and yellow eyebrows. Central crown stripe is orange, but this can be hard to see in the field. Similar to Two-banded Warbler, but lacks a broken eyering and head stripes are not as dark. Song is a quick series of clear whistles; also gives gravelly chip notes. Usually seen in pairs at lower to middle levels of the forest. Formerly called Golden-bellied Warbler.

Geoffroy's Daggerbill
Schistes geoffroyi
Fairly small hummingbird found on the east slope of the Andes from Venezuela to Peru. Both sexes mostly green with short, straight bill. Males have green throat, blue patches on neck sides, and a broken white collar. Females has duller greenish throat and whitish eyeline. Inconspicuous; look for singles at flower patches in understory of foothill and subtropical forest and edge, from around 800-2,000 m.
Chestnut-winged Foliage-gleaner
Dendroma erythroptera
Gray-brown foliage-gleaner with reddish wings and tail. Face and throat washed with dull yellow, with a faint eyeline; this is unlike many other foliage-gleaners which have a clear eyebrow or throat patch. Usually forages fairly high in the midstory and canopy of mature rainforest, often with mixed species flocks. Many foliage-gleaners have reddish wings; look for reddish wings contrasting with grayish body and tawny ochraceous face and throat in this species.
Sichuan Bush Warbler
Locustella chengi
Drab brown warbler of hilly central China; russet-brown above and cold gray-brown below, with dark stripes on the vent. Like many other bush warblers, very difficult to see as it skulks deep in dense vegetation; typically prefers to scurry or run instead of fly to reach cover. Note song: a plain, amphibian- or insect-like rasping, lower than that of Russet Bush Warbler.
