Blue-banded Pitta
Erythropitta arquata
Unique-looking pitta of hill and submontane forests. Note bright red underparts, dull tan-orange face, dull blue-green back, and glittering silver-blue “necklace” and secondaries (similarly-colored line trailing down from behind the eye can be visible if seen well). Favors patches of forest with some disturbance, especially bamboo groves and fallen trees. Shy and elusive. Gives a whistle with a clipped ending; higher and more “fluty” than that of Black-crowned Pitta, and lacks the rising quality of that species’ and Garnet Pitta’s whistles.

Transvolcanic Jay
Aphelocoma ultramarina
Rather large, blue-and-gray jay of highland pine and pine-oak forest endemic to highlands of central Mexico; occurs in transvolcanic belt from Volcánes de Colima in the west to Volcán Orizaba in the east. Typically travels in wide-ranging flocks of 5–25 birds, mainly at middle to upper levels in trees. Appreciably larger and broader-winged than Woodhouse's Scrub-Jays, with plainer plumage (lacks dark mask, whitish eyebrow, and partial dark collar of Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay). Noisy calls carry well.
Puerto Rican Spindalis
Spindalis portoricensis
A somewhat small woodland bird that moves rather deliberately as it feeds on fruits and flowers and the occasional insect. Inhabits wide range of woodlands, though generally avoids mangroves. Male is dressed in bright yellows and oranges with a distinctive black-and-white striped head. Female is drab, but note distinctive whitish mustache. Calls include a variety of high-pitched squeaks and short whistles.
Turquoise-throated Barbet
Psilopogon chersonesus
Restricted to montane forest in a tiny corner of southern Peninsular Thailand, this brightly-colored tree-dweller is nonetheless not uncommon within its limited range and habitat. Very similar in appearance to Blue-throated Barbet, but ranges do not overlap; also note present species’ thick black line behind the eye, and its paler throat. Song is similar to that of Blue-throated Barbet, a hollow knocking series of notes: “bu-goh-goh-goh, bu-goh-goh-goh.” Also gives a similarly hollow-sounding trill which may transition into song.
