Flammulated Treehunter
Thripadectes flammulatus
Uncommon medium-sized brownish bird of Andean montane forest from Venezuela through Ecuador and just barely into Peru. Distinctive among treehunters with its bold buffy streaking covering the entire head, back, and body. Rufous wings and tail. Sexes alike. Usually found singly or in pairs moving furtively through the understory of forest, often around bamboo, from around 2,200–3,500 m. Does not typically follow mixed-species flocks.
识别特征
The flammulated treehunter is 24 to 25 cm (9.4 to 9.8 in) long and weighs 50 to 62 g (1.8 to 2.2 oz). It is the largest and most strikingly patterned member of its genus. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a blackish face and crown with sharp tawny-buff streaks that are rather golden on the crown. Their lores are speckled with blackish and golden buff. Their back is browner than the face and crown, with its blackish only along the feather shafts, and it blends to the rich medium brown rump. Their uppertail coverts are dark reddish brown. Their wing coverts are more rufescent than the back and with narrower streaks, their flight feathers dark rufescent brown, and their tail dull chestnut-brown. Their throat, breast, and upper belly are streaked with blackish and golden buff that fade to rich brown on the lower belly and flanks. Their undertail coverts are streaked with dark rufous-brown and blackish. Their iris is brown to dark brown, their bill black, and their legs and feet blackish to gray-brown. Juveniles are less distinctly streaked than adults. Subspecies T. f. bricenoi is overall paler than the nominate, with wider and blacker streaks on the upperwing coverts, an almost uniform buff throat, olive-brown instead of black streaks on the underparts, and ochraceous undertail coverts.

分布与栖息地
The flammulated treehunter has a disjunct distribution. The nominate subspecies is found in the Andes of southwestern Venezuela, Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, intermittently in all three Colombian Andes ranges, and more or less continuously south through Ecuador's Andes into extreme northern Peru. Subspecies T. f. bricenoi is found in the Andes of western Venezuela's Mérida state. The species inhabits montane evergreen forest and temperate forest and favors thickets of Chusquea bamboo. In elevation it mostly ranges between 2,200 and 3,500 m (7,200 and 11,500 ft) but locally occurs as low as 700 m (2,300 ft) in western Colombia.

Blyth's Tragopan
Tragopan blythii
A large pheasant-like bird with a short tail. Male has a yellow face, gray upperparts with white spots, a bright red breast and back of the head, and a white band on the base of the tail. Female is brown throughout, with uniform pale speckling and an indistinct pale eye-ring. Occurs in dense evergreen montane forests, where it feeds in the undergrowth. The song is a loud, wailing “oooaaahh.”
Yellow-gorgeted Greenbul
Atimastillas flavicollis
Fairly large, long-tailed, olive-green greenbul with a yellow throat. Found in forest, thick woodland, scrub, and rank cultivation. Rather shy and skulking species that is normally in pairs or small groups. Quite vocal; the call is a rapid, up-and-down barking. Similar to bearded greenbuls, but slimmer and without a reddish tail.
Malabar Pied-Hornbill
Anthracoceros coronatus
A large black-and-white hornbill with a huge bill and casque. The plumage is almost entirely black, but for the white on the belly and the sides of the throat. Sexes are alike, except that the female has a white patch around the eye. In flight, note the white tail with a black tip, and the black wings with a thin white bar in the middle and a thick white edge. It inhabits evergreen and deciduous forests and forest edges. Calls include loud and often maniacal-sounding clucking and braying.
