White-fronted Manakin
Lepidothrix serena
An unobtrusive, sparrow-sized bird of rainforest understory. Male is glossy black with a bright blue rump, a shining white forehead, a large yellow central breast spot, and a yellow belly. Females are bright green, yellower on the belly. A common resident of tall rainforest, where it consumes fruits of understory shrubs. Males take exposed song perches, usually within 5 meters of the ground, from which they give a repeated purring note that could easily be mistaken for a frog. Otherwise most likely to be seen at fruiting shrubs. Very similar Orange-bellied Manakin does not overlap in range. Females best distinguished from other manakins by bright green plumage and strong yellow tones on belly.
识别特征
It is a deep black bird, and is named for its conspicuous bright-white forehead-patch feathers that extend forward beyond the bill's base; the female does not have the patch. Besides the black body and white forehead, a distinctive light blue, narrow patch of feathers covers the lower back-upper rump; a further distinctive color of this bird are bright sulphur-yellow breast patches. The bird has black legs, and dark eyes. The species is dimorphic with the female's colors being grayish and black with the sulphur-yellow belly; she has a white eye-ring.
分类信息
In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the white-fronted manakin in his Ornithologie based on a specimen collected from Cayenne in French Guiana. He used the French name Le manakin à front blanc and the Latin Manacus alba fronte. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the white-fronted manakin. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Pipra serena and cited Brisson's work. The specific name serena is from the Latin serenus "bright", "fair", "serene". This species is now placed in the genus Lepidothrix was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. The species is monotypic.

分布与栖息地
It is found in the Atlantic coastal Guianas and the eastern Guiana Shield of Surname and French Guiana; also regions of Guyana and the northeastern Amazon states of Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.<p>The range of the white-fronted manakin is in the eastern Guianas, (only southeast border region of Guyana in the center-west of range), and the northeastern Amazon Basin; specifically, the eastern half of its range is all of Brazil's northeastern state of Amapá, with Amapá's south-flowing Jari River the centerline of its range. The range approaches the Amazon River but avoids the Amazon River corridor by about 100 km; further upstream its range is on the Amazon River, its north bank for 500 km, starting at the Rio Negro confluence and downriver past the confluence of the Madeira River. This portion of the range covers nearly all of the northern part of Pará state, north of the Amazon River. The species is not found south of the Amazon River into the southeast Amazon Basin.<p>The contiguous range in the Guianas, in the east encompasses all of French Guiana, and in the center country of Suriname, divides the country diagonally, being found in the southeast parts bordering French Guiana. Some disjunct locale areas of Guyana besides the southeast continuous range occur in Guyana's southwest at the headwaters of the Essequibo River and the Guiana Shield.

Gray-winged Inca-Finch
Incaspiza ortizi
Gray finch-like bird known from only a few sites in the Andes of northern Peru, including steep slopes above the Marañon Valley. Adult has bright yellow bill and legs, black mask, and white outer tail feathers that are hard to see when perched. Young birds have less black on the face and duller bill and legs. Inhabits arid regions with dense, scrubby forest. Forages mainly on the ground, but perches up higher to sing. Typical song is a rising, tremulous whistle.
Teardrop White-eye
Rukia ruki
Strange-looking bird with a tiny range, found exclusively on the islands of Tol South, Onei, Paata, and Polle, in Chuuk, Micronesia. Only in dense native old-growth montane forest, where it is often found close to the endemic poison tree (“panaw” in Chuukese). Most numerous on Tol South, where it is restricted to Mt. Winipot. Dark olive-brown all over, with bright orange legs and a white “teardrop” crescent under the eye. Long-bodied appearance is quite different from most white-eyes. Gives a long series of musical warbles.
Common Redstart
Phoenicurus phoenicurus
Male handsome and distinctive, with black face and throat offset by white brow, bright orangey breast, blue-gray back. Female drab gray-brown overall except for bright tail. Female told from female Black Redstart by warmer, buffy-brown (not grayish) breast. Found in mixed and deciduous woodland, heathland with trees and hedges; often uses coastal scrub, thornscrub, and other drier habitats during the non-breeding season. Unobtrusive; tends to perch rather upright and has a distinctive habit of shivering its bright orangey tail. Pleasant song can include various whistles and warbles, as well as drier, buzzier phrases. Calls include hard “pik” notes and a rising “weet.”
