Rote Myzomela

Tiny hummingbird with a white rump band found in the Atlantic Rainforest region. Adult male has a fantastic iridescent green headdress consisting of a flowing beard ending in white spots, and a glittering face and forehead. Female and young male lack these features and have a white throat with a dark smudge in the center; they are similar to female Frilled Coquette, but lack buff on the face and throat. Feeds on a wide variety of flowers at almost any level, and regularly visits feeders in some areas.

Big bushshrike with a large, laterally flattened bill. Note the black wing with yellowish spotting and the gray head. The breast is yellow in the eastern part of the range, washed with orange in the west. Found in the thick understory and mid-story of humid forest. The song is a long, hollow hoot that is slowly repeated. Also gives quicker hoots and whistles. Similar to Fiery-breasted Bushshrike, but separated by the gray rather than pale lores, the pale yellow bars on the front of the wing, and the lack of a black bar near the tip of the tail.

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.
