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.

Andean Solitaire
Myadestes ralloides
Small thrush found in Andean cloud forest from 1,000–2,500 m. Nondescript plumage, generally rufous above and gray below with few notable field marks. Sexes alike. What it lacks in bold markings, it makes up for with a gorgeous voice: listen for short ethereal flutelike phrases, usually given in a long leisurely series. Usually fairly common by voice but difficult to see, often remaining on one perch for long periods of time. Most reliably seen visiting a fruiting tree.
Collared Owlet
Taenioptynx brodiei
A tiny brown owl of mountains and foothills; descends into valleys and lowlands during the winter. Appears in both rufous and gray morphs, both dark above and white below with long, distinct streaks on the flanks. Tooting song, often given during the day, can be mistaken for that of a barbet, but the Collared Owlet song has four discrete notes, with the second and third notes given close together.
Pardusco
Nephelornis oneilli
An odd, warbler-like bird found near treeline in the Andes of northern and central Peru. Pardusco means “brownish” in Spanish, and that fits the bird very well. It is best identified by its lack of field marks, its small and pointy bill, and its specialized habitat. Behavior is also a good clue, as it is typically found in little flocks that chatter and squeak as they move through elfin forest, often accompanied by other species.
