Short-billed Crombec
Sylvietta philippae
A small and virtually tailless warbler with a gray back and pale underparts washed with yellow. Note the pale eyebrow and the dark cheek patch. Found locally in dry thorn savanna and thornscrub. Similar to Yellow-bellied and Yellow-vented Eremomelas, but has duller yellow underparts and a shorter tail. Reminiscent of Somali Crombec, but has a shorter bill. The song consists of quick chatty notes.

Brazilian Ruby
Heliodoxa rubricauda
Small distinctive hummingbird with a straight black bill. Males are mostly green with a rusty rump and tail, and noteworthy for an iridescent pink throat and white spot behind the eye. Females are green above and rusty below with a white teardrop behind the eye and a pale patch on the cheeks. Found in the understory of humid rainforest and visiting feeders at forest edges.
Crested Gallito
Rhinocrypta lanceolata
Striking, mostly terrestrial thrush-sized bird of thorn scrub in the Chaco bioregion, from central Argentina to SE Bolivia. Plain grayish-brown plumage with rufous flanks and streaked crest distinctive. Generally solitary or in pairs.
Scribble-tailed Canastero
Asthenes maculicauda
Streaky brown bird found in grassy areas at very high elevations in the Andes above treeline. Its unstreaked chestnut forecrown, plain throat, and dark markings in the tail help to separate it from other canasteros. Habitat is also a good clue, as it prefers tall bunchgrass and avoids heavily grazed areas. Song is a buzzy, accelerating trill similar to other canasteros. Its rising “sue-wheat” call is more useful for identification.
