White-throated Manakin
Corapipo gutturalis
Tiny, inconspicuous manakin of lowland rainforest canopy. Adult male is unmistakable; females and young males are told by slim shape and crisp two-toned appearance. Generally seen less often than other manakins; feeds on fruit in midstory and canopy, occasionally in understory. Usually detected by its thin, lisping call, which is strikingly similar to that of Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher, but with 3–4 (not 2) syllables and falling in pitch. Male display, rarely seen, is centered on fallen logs.

In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the white-throated manakin in his Ornithologie. He used the French name Le manakin à gorge blanche and the Latin Manacus gutture albo. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the white-throated manakin. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Pipra gutturalis and cited Brisson's work. The specific name gutturalis is Medieval Latin for "of the thoat". This species is now placed in the genus Corapipo that was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. The white-throated manakin is monotypic.

Scaled Woodcreeper
Lepidocolaptes squamatus
Fairly small woodcreeper with a short, slightly curved pale pinkish bill. Found in a variety of habitats including humid forests, woodlands, and dry forests as well as semi-desert areas. Uniformly rufous upperparts contrast with a bold white eyebrow, white throat, and scaly underparts. Occasionally follows mixed-species flocks. Similar to Scalloped Woodcreeper, which has a darker crown and a more rufous tail.
Parakeet Auklet
Aethia psittacula
Dumpy, medium-sized alcid with a bright orange bill. Pale button eye and upturned gape give it a distinctly maniacal, smiling appearance. Blackish above and white below, with a long white “whisker” extending down from behind the eye in breeding season; in wintering birds, white extends up onto the throat. Clean white belly distinguishes this species from other similar auklets. Least Auklet has a similar color scheme but is half the size, has white cheeks in non-breeding plumage, and has white-mottled upperparts when breeding. Parakeet Auklet breeds on offshore island colonies, often with other auklet species; it winters offshore.
Forest Scimitarbill
Rhinopomastus castaneiceps
Odd, long-tailed, slender-billed bird. The birds in the western part of the range are brown-hooded. In the east, male birds can have a glossy green, brown, or whitish head, and females can show a brown or whitish head. Note the dark bill and legs. Found in humid forest. Usually in pairs or small groups of up to 10. There are two distinctive calls: a dry rattling given in chorus, and a mournful series of rising whistles. Similar to White-headed Woodhoopoe, but easily separated by the dark bill and legs.
