Russet-crowned Quail-Dove
Zentrygon goldmani
A plump ground-dwelling dove with limited range in eastern Panama and barely into Colombia. Brownish above with a grayer breast, whitish face, and reddish legs. Namesake rufous crown is distinctive. Most common in foothills from around 750–1,600 m, but sometimes lower. Like other quail-doves walks stealthily on the forest floor, singly or in pairs. Perhaps most easily seen beside quiet trails early and late in the day. Heard more often than seen.

分布与栖息地
The nominate subspecies of russet-crowned quail-dove is resident from Panama's eastern Panamá Province through Darién Province into extreme northwestern Colombia. Z. g. oreas is found in eastern Panama but west of the nominate. It inhabits subtropical forest in foothills and lower highlands, generally at elevations between 750 and 1,600 m (2,460 and 5,250 ft) but as low as 90 m (300 ft) in Colombia.

Speckled Mousebird
Colius striatus
A geographically-variable, dumpy-bodied, brownish-gray bird with a long, scruffy tail. Differentiated from other mousebirds by its blackish face and gray-brown crest. It is often found scrambling through bushes and tangles, creeping around on short legs. In flight, it flutters rapidly, and its tail seems to drag it down, as if it were too heavy to make it to the next bush. Occurs in small, sociable groups in forest edge, savanna, thickets in grassland, and gardens, feeding on fruit, leaves, flowers, and nectar. After eating, birds may hang upside-down and expose the black skin on their bellies to absorb heat and aid digestion.
Sharpe's Starling
Pholia sharpii
Small, distinctive starling with a blue-black back, a white throat, and a buff belly. Except in good light, the upperparts usually look black. The pale eye is always distinctive. Uncommon and local in montane forest. Found in the canopy, in pairs or small flocks; often perches up conspicuously on dead snags and other open perches. The call is a sharp “sveet” and the song is a high-pitched tinkling that is distinctive, but quiet and easily ignored. Separated from similar starlings by its pale throat.
Campo Miner
Geositta poeciloptera
Small terrestrial ovenbird with a short tail. Brownish overall, paler below, with a whitish eyebrow and speckled breast. In flight, exhibits a bright rusty pattern on the wings and tail. Found in grassland areas and in open savanna, preferring recently burned areas, where it typically forages in pairs, walking on the ground.
