Utupua Whistler

A chunky green resident of moist upland forests. No other native parrots occur within its range, but the Red-crowned Parrot, native to Mexico, is often kept in captivity and looks very similar. Compared to the Puerto Rican Parrot, the Red-crowned has more extensive red on the forehead, has a small red patch on its wings, and has gray, not pinkish-colored, legs and feet. Calls include a loud harsh “wee-uh.”

A small bird of forest and edge from the lowlands to low elevations in the mountains on the western Visayas. Has a fairly long and slightly curved bill, yellow underparts, and olive wings. Male has a black face, throat, and chest, with a purple mustache stripe and a green crown. Male is similar to Olive-backed Sunbird, but has a red spot on the chest and reddish coloration on the upper back and back of the head. The drab female resembles the female Handsome Sunbird, but lacks the yellow rump. Voice includes a jumbled, high-pitched song and a slightly wheezy, high-pitched “tsee-tsee-tsee.”

Secretive, rare medium-sized antshrike of the dense forests of the Cordillera Divisor of remote western Brazil and eastern Peru. Males are dark gray with a bluish tint to the back and upperparts, while females are bluish-gray above and brownish-orange below. Inhabits the lower levels of forests, where it is more often heard than seen; voice is a fast series of notes increasing in speed before finishing with a final higher note.
