Yellow-breasted Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus occipitalis
A medium-sized dove of lowland and mid-elevation forest canopy. Distinguished by green upperparts, tail, thighs, and sides, gray crown and sides to the neck, yellow breast, maroon patch on the belly, and maroon stripe from the eye around the back of the head. Similar to Flame-breasted Fruit-Dove, but has a yellow rather than orange chest and pale gray in front of the eyes. Song is a deep, downslurred “woo-oo.”
分类信息
The yellow-breasted fruit dove is one of over 50 species in the genus Ptilinopus. Within the genus, it is most closely allied to the red-eared fruit dove and the Lompobattang fruit dove.<p>The species was formerly placed in the obsolete genus Leucotreron.<p>The species' generic name comes from the Ancient Greek ptilon (feather) and pous (foot), while the specific epithet occipitalis is from Latin, meaning "of the back of the head". Alternative names for the yellow-breasted fruit dove include sulphur-breasted fruit dove.<p>There are two recognised subspecies. However, they are recognised only on the basis on minor differences in size and plumage, and may be better treated as monotypic.

Red-winged Pytilia
Pytilia phoenicoptera
An unusual and pretty member of the waxbill family. Shows fine pale barring below, mostly deep red wings, and a red rump and tail. Females are paler gray. Found in moist broadleaf woodland, savanna, and thickets. Generally uncommon and inconspicuous, singly or in pairs. Sometimes joins flocks with other birds. Similar to Green-winged and Red-faced Pytilias, but separated by the red wing. The calls are short trills and a rising “spink” note. The song is a mix of higher whistles and lower growling notes.
Ochre-breasted Tanager
Chlorothraupis stolzmanni
A plain, chunky bird with a “big mouth.” Found in foothill rainforest of western Ecuador and western Colombia. It’s mostly olive-brown with pale eyes and a stout bill. Forages at middle levels of the forest and may join mixed-species flocks. Sings incessantly early in the morning, giving loud whistles intermixed with scratchy twitters and squeaks. It can open its beak surprisingly wide while singing, giving the impression that it’s shouting.
Mountain Peacock-Pheasant
Polyplectron inopinatum
Long-tailed, small-headed, maroon-and-gray pheasant. Male has a longer tail than the female, and his green spots are brighter; they gleam like hewn emeralds when he is displaying. Found in foothill and montane forest. Forages quietly on the ground, scratching through leaf litter. Typically shy and very difficult to see; only reliably and easily viewed where habituated.
