Gray-sided Flowerpecker
Dicaeum celebicum
A tiny, stubby, plump dark songbird with a bold red throat in males. Female is nondescript, all gray with a clean white throat. Juveniles resemble female but have a pale-based bill and a green-washed breast. Singles and pairs can be found in lowlands and foothills in a variety of habitats, including forest, forest edge, scrub, and gardens. Male can be separated from male Crimson-crowned Flowerpecker by red throat and lack of red crown. Female Gray-sided differs from female Crimson-crowned in absence of red rump. Song is a thin, high-pitched “see-se-sooo.” Also gives a buzzy “tzjit” note.

Dark-breasted Spinetail
Synallaxis albigularis
Handsome spinetail of grassy areas in lowlands and foothills. Gray with chestnut crown and shoulders. Black throat spot is bordered by a white “V”. Skulks in overgrown pastures, tangled clearings, and dense scrub on young river islands, but avoids forest. Usually hard to see unless it is actively defending its territory. Song is a sharp “pik” immediately followed by a quick, rattling trill.
White-capped Tanager
Sericossypha albocristata
Large, boisterous, striking tanager unlikely to be mistaken. Mostly dark blackish, but look for satin-red throat and iridescent steely-bluish wings. Most distinctive is the namesake white cap that shines like sunlit snow. Sexes similar; females and immatures have slightly duller throat. Never common; found in small flocks that move quickly through the canopy of the subtropical and temperate zones in the Andes, sometimes perching conspicuously. Behavior and voice recall a jay and they sound quite similar especially at a distance. Sometimes travels with flocks of Turquoise Jays.
Lesser Antillean Tanager
Stilpnia cucullata
A brightly colored small woodland species often found in pairs or small flocks at fruiting trees. Note the dark partial hood and striking turquoise wings. No other species in its range shares these characters. Song consists of a series of high, thin notes followed by a high-pitched jumbled twitter.
