Swallow Tanager

Plump anthrush with a short cocked-tail and long legs. Walks quietly on the ground of humid montane forests between 200 and 1500 m, where it is usually very difficult to see. It has a rufous crown, olive-brown back, and a heavily streaked belly. Note the white throat and eyebrow. Almost identical in plumage to Rufous-tailed Antthrush, but differs in song. Such's Antthrush sings a long (20-40 seconds) and melodious series of “tju tju tju” notes while Rufous-tailed Antthrush has a faster and shorter (3-4 seconds) song.

Very similar and closely related to European Pied Flycatcher. Males have mixed features of Collared and European Pied Flycatchers, but note very large white wing patch and big white forehead. Also note the absence of a white collar and pale rump patch on Atlas Flycatcher. Females are very difficult to distinguish, but note gray upperparts with paler rump and big white primary base patch. Song is a cheery up-and-down series, quite similar to that of European Pied. Calls subtly different from European Pied Flycatcher with a slightly more metallic "whit" and a slower tempo. Inhabits a variety of wooded habitats in the Atlas Mountains.

Dark bird of highland forest understory. Male is entirely dark gray except for bold white wing spots; female is brown above and rufous below with a gray face. Inhabits tall premontane forest, generally between 500–1800 m on tepui slopes, and is especially likely to be found in steep terrain and in areas with many large, mossy boulders. Usually found in pairs that forage for insects on or near the ground, probing into crevices and tossing aside leaves, much like others of genus; does not typically join mixed-species flocks. Song is a long series of sharp notes, swelling in volume and dropping in pitch at end. Very similar to Spot-winged Antbird of lowlands, which it replaces at higher elevations (no known overlap); best distinguished by voice and habitat.
