Ayacucho Thistletail
Asthenes ayacuchensis
Poorly known thistletail found only in a small area of the high Andes east of the city of Ayacucho in southern Peru. It is brown above, gray below, with a long wispy tail and a reddish-orange chin patch. It has a darker chin patch than Vilcabamba Thistletail and Puna Thistletail, and is not known to overlap with either species. It inhabits scrub and stunted forest near treeline. Song is a rapid, high-pitched trill.
Dusky-billed Parrotlet
Forpus modestus
A tiny, bright green parrot found throughout much of the Amazon basin. Dusky-billed has darker green plumage and a dark upper bill compared to the very similar Blue-winged Parrotlet. Dusky-billed is also less likely to be found around clearings than Blue-winged. Often first noticed by the incessant high-pitched, buzzy calls given by flocks, not as high-pitched and piercing as the calls of Blue-winged.
Orange-necked Partridge
Arborophila davidi
Small, intricately patterned forest partridge, found only in a very small area of Vietnam and an even smaller patch of far eastern Cambodia. Somewhat similar in appearance to Bar-backed Partridge; look out for a white throat, thicker black line through the eye, and finer, less prominent white “scale” markings on the side. Orange tinge on the throat is weak and not always noticeable in the gloom of the dense hill forest understory. Gives an ascending series of pleasant whistles.
