Brown-winged Schiffornis

Plain and often confusing hummingbird found along lower to middle slopes of the Andes. Note its limited range in the eastern Andes of Colombia and the Andes of Venezuela. Plumage is mostly green with rusty-brown rump and tail. Its name is deceptive as the belly is typically brown or buff, not green. Similar to Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, but bill is darker and less red, and rump and tail are browner and less rufous. Inhabits forest edge, clearings, and plantations. Birds found in the Tepui region are now considered a separate species, Copper-tailed Hummingbird.

A small, sunbirdlike bird of lowland and foothill forest. Long, thin, curved bill with olive upperparts and head. Southern birds have a brighter yellow belly and northern birds are more olive below. Similar to several other species, but Yellow-bellied Longbill lacks the gray chest of Spectacled Longbill and female Black Sunbird, lacks the yellow eye-brow of female Olive-backed Sunbird and lacks the contrasting yellow-throat of the higher elevation Slaty-chinned Longbill. Song, an often descending series of downslurred whistles.

A relatively bright small flycatcher of montane forests from Colombia to Peru. The underparts are yellow, with an especially rich orangish wash on the breast. Also look for the dark wings with bold yellow wingbars. Sexes similar. Found in pairs, often following mixed flocks through the middle to upper levels of cloud forest from around 1,500–2,500 m. Listen for short, quick pip calls.
