Gold-whiskered Barbet
Psilopogon chrysopogon
Bright yellow cheek stands out like a sunburst on the muddy-looking face of this barbet. Traces of red and blue also brighten the head of this heavy-billed green bird. Inhabits lowland and foothill forests. Like many other barbets, forages sluggishly high up in the forest canopy, and can be difficult to see; listen instead for its song, a series of echoing rhythmic “woo-ooh” notes, sometimes combined with trilled hoots.
识别特征
The golden-whiskered barbet has a green plumage of various hues. On both sides of the black beak it has a yellow moustache that extends to the ear canal. Its throat is blue, and it has small blue and red spots on the head. Its eyes are also surrounded by blue. Its forecrown is pale yellow, with red patches on both sides of the beak. It is 30 cm (12 in) long and weighs 110–215 g (3.9–7.6 oz).Female and male are similar in appearance but display a small degree of sexual dichromatism in that the beaks of the female appear paler with a dusky bluish color. Before reaching maturity birds of both sexes have duller overall plumage.
分类信息
Bucco chrysopogon was the scientific name proposed by Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1824 for a gold-whiskered barbet from Sumatra.Asian barbets were placed in the genus Megalaima proposed by George Robert Gray in 1842 who suggested to use this name instead of Bucco.Megalaima chrysopsis proposed by Andreas Goffin in 1863 was based on two gold-whiskered barbets collected in Borneo.Chrotorhea chrysopogon laetus proposed by Herbert C. Robinson and C. Boden Kloss in 1918 was a gold-whiskered barbet collected at Mount Kerinci in Sumatra.Three golden-whiskered barbet subspecies are recognized as of 2014:

Cajamarca Antpitta
Grallaria cajamarcae
Small antpitta with a restricted range in the western Andes of northwestern Peru. Note the chestnut brown plumage and pale belly; like other antpittas, it has long legs and a short tail. Inhabits the understory of high elevation forest, and can persist even in small patches as long as native vegetation remains. Mostly terrestrial, but sometimes comes up a bit higher, especially when singing. Gives a series of five to eight clear whistles and a long trill that rises abruptly near the end. Formerly considered to be a subspecies of what used to be called Rufous Antpitta.
Cloud-forest Pygmy-Owl
Glaucidium nubicola
Small owl, active during the day and night. Very similar in plumage to other pygmy-owls; note elevation within very limited range in western Ecuador and Colombia. Found at higher elevations than Central American Pygmy-Owl and lower elevations than Andean Pygmy-Owl. Overall brown to rufous with white stripes on belly and small white spots on crown. Sexes alike. Quite rare. Found singly or in pairs in montane forests. Listen for doubled notes given on an even pitch.
Scarlet-rumped Tanager
Ramphocelus passerinii
Fairly common in humid tropical lowlands. Favors evergreen forest edges, plantations, and verdant second growth, such as areas along roadsides. Forages mainly at low to middle levels often in fairly noisy small groups. Male is unmistakable if seen clearly: velvety black with a blinding scarlet rump. Female is very different: note distinctive bluish-white bill, tawny rump, and grayish head. Formerly known as Cherrie's Tanager and Passerini's Tanager.
