Baudo Oropendola

Generally uncommon, dull flowerpecker. Drab brown overall with paler underparts, olive-tinged wings, and pale eyes. Found in lowland and foothill forests; favors wetter habitats. Forages actively. Gives hard metallic “tchip” calls.

Small seedeater with a sharp bill and forked tail. The upperparts are olive-green and the underparts pale yellow with some streaking. Males and females are similar. Found at middle and high elevations in a variety of habitats, including forest edge, gardens, cultivation, moist scrub, and woodland. Usually in small flocks. The song is a fast jumble of high-pitched twitters and whistles. Similar to Western Citril, but there is virtually no overlap in range, and further separated by the lack of a strong pale eyebrow, and the lack of a black face on the male.

Rather stocky, boldly patterned thrush of highland pine-oak and fir forest. Endemic to western and central Mexico. Found singly or in flocks, often associating with other thrushes at fruiting trees and bushes. Despite its striking plumage, can be difficult to see as its plumage blends well in sun-dappled foliage. Usually rather quiet, and can sit still for long periods. Male has blackish hood and upperparts with bold white patterning on wings and tail. Female paler and more grayish in areas where male is black.
