Andean Swallow
Orochelidon andecola
Uncommon to fairly common but sometimes local in the high Andes. Favors open country, such as rocky slopes, puna grasslands, bogs, and sometimes around villages and towns. Usually in pairs or small groups flying fast and often rather low; sometimes associates with Blue-and-white Swallows. Distinctive but rather nondescript: dark above and whitish below with a cleft tail, dusky throat, and vaguely brownish rump. Note that the undertail coverts are whitish on Andean, but dark on Blue-and-White Swallows.

Cabanis's Spinetail
Synallaxis cabanisi
Range-restricted, gray-and-red spinetail. Found in bamboo and other dense, tangly undergrowth in secondary forest in parts of the Andean foothills of Peru, Bolivia, and adjacent lowlands. Browner than the similar Dark-breasted Spinetail, which has a gray face and underparts. Darker and more reddish on the upperparts and crown than other similar species like Plain-crowned and Pale-breasted Spinetails. Forages singly or in pairs in the undergrowth. Listen for its call: a nasal “nyeck-nyeck.”
Mongolian Ground-Jay
Podoces hendersoni
With its long, slightly decurved bill, flashy black-and-white wings, and ground-loving behavior, this bird is far from a typical jay. Sandy brown overall with a black crown and a thin dark line behind the eye. Clean pale face, less extensive white in the wing, and lack of white on the rump distinguish it from similar-looking Xinjiang Ground-Jay. Inhabits open, dry steppeland and high-altitude semi-desert, where it forages on the ground but often perches up on exposed boulders or snags.
Painted Firetail
Emblema pictum
Tiny bird, more slender than other waxbills, olive brown above, blackish with white-spotted flanks below. Male with bright red face, female with red around eye. Cherry red rump obvious in flight. Found in arid inland Australia, in rocky gorges and hills with water nearby.
