Turner's Eremomela
Eremomela turneri
A very small, well-marked warbler. Note the gray upperparts, the rufous forehead, and the white underparts with a black chest band. Found very locally in low- and middle-elevation rainforest, often along the forest edge. Very similar to Rufous-crowned Eremomela, but usually distinguished by range, and also slightly smaller, with less rufous on the crown. Usually in small groups, which frequently join mixed flocks. Inconspicuous vocalizations are high-pitched “sit” notes, sometimes given singly, and sometimes in a quick series.

Red-headed Manakin
Ceratopipra rubrocapilla
A small chunky manakin. Males are mostly black with a red hood while females are olive-green above with a whitish belly. Inhabits humid forests and second growth where it forages in the mid-strata. Despite the male’s bright red hood, can be difficult to spot. Males gather in small groups to display for females known as a lek, but otherwise are normally seen singly. The call is a nasal “drree-dit.”

Striated Softtail
Thripophaga macroura
Distinctive-looking rufous bird, heavily streaked with a bright cinnamon tail. Note the orange chin patch. Found in humid forest with dense vine tangles, where it forages by gleaning from the understory to the subcanopy and often accompanies mixed-species flocks. The song is two clear notes flowed by a rattle. The superficially similar but larger Pale-browed Treehunter lacks the orange chin and has a more robust bill.

Silver-capped Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus richardsii
A colorful dove. Males have a bright silver head and chest, green wings, and a bright orange belly and undertail. Females are more uniformly green, with a yellow undertail and a grayish cast to the face. In flight, wings appear strongly blue. Occurs alongside Yellow-bibbed and White-headed Fruit-Doves, but male Silver-capped almost impossible to misidentify. Female is more similar to the other species, but gray face, dark beady eye, and silverish throat are diagnostic. Gives a typical dove-like bouncing, cooing call likened to laughter.
