Tan-capped Catbird
Ailuroedus geislerorum
A large, shy, stocky bird of lowland and foothill forest interior in northern New Guinea. A light brown crown, contrasting with white cheek and throat. Uneven, black-blotched moustache and collar is narrower at the front and often open at the throat. Chest and belly is pale buff blending into the white throat covered with large black spots which often join to form thick streaks. It may overlap altitudinally with Northern or Huon Catbirds, but Tan-capped is smaller, found at lower elevation and has a white cheek. Voice, a long drawn-out rasp.

Chestnut Wood-Quail
Odontophorus hyperythrus
This chickenlike bird is bright rufous on the face and underparts and brown above. Female similar to male but rufous more restricted to the upper breast with contrasting gray belly. Also note slight crest, stout bill, and some bare gray skin around the eye. Uncommon in cloud forest of western Colombia. Shy and difficult to see; stays in small groups on the forest floor and rarely comes out in the open. Listen for rollicking whistled song, similar to other wood-quail.
Ash-throated Antwren
Herpsilochmus parkeri
Rare antwren restricted to a small area of the eastern Andes in northern Peru. Note the black cap, striped face, white wingbars, and lack of rufous in the wing. Female has a buffy tinge on her face and throat. While several other antwrens in Peru share similar plumage features, none of them occur in the limited range of this species. Inhabits the canopy of stunted cloud forest, especially on ridgetops. Song starts with a few rising notes and ends with a descending trill.
Gray Teal
Anas gracilis
Plain grayish mottled duck with a rounded crown. Note plain face lacking the bold stripes of Pacific Black Duck. White wing panels are distinctive in flight compared to purple/green of Pacific Black Duck. Told from female Chestnut Teal by the much paler neck/throat. One of the most common ducks in many waterways, forming enormous flocks numbering in the 1000s.
