White-streaked Antvireo
Dysithamnus leucostictus
Small antbird found inside cloud forest along the east slope of Andes and in Venezuela’s coastal mountains. Male is black with small white spots on wings that usually form parallel lines; faint streaking on breast is almost impossible to see in the field. Female is very different, with chestnut upperparts and grayish underparts covered with broad, pale stripes. Inhabits forest understory. Usually heard before seen. Vocalizations include a rising and then falling series of notes, an abrupt churr, and a series of dry rattles.
识别特征
The white-streaked antvireo is 12 to 13 cm (4.7 to 5.1 in) long and weighs about 20 g (0.71 oz). Adult males of the nominate subspecies are mostly dark gray with a hidden white patch between the scapulars. Their wings are dark gray with white tips and edges on the coverts and their breast is a darker blackish gray than the upperparts. Adult females have a reddish brown crown, nape, upperparts, wings, and tail. The sides of their head, throat, and underparts are mostly gray with bold white streaks; their flanks and crissum have a brown tinge and no streaks. Subadult males are mostly gray with a rufous tinge; their wings are rufous-brown, their tail dark brown, their throat spotted with pale gray, and their underparts thinly streaked with white. Males of subspecies D. l. tucuyensis have more white on their coverts than the nominate, and white at the bend of the wing and on the outermost primaries. Females are paler than the nominate, with yellower upperparts, larger streaks on their underparts, and olive flanks and crissum.
分类信息
The white-streaked antvireo was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1858 and given the binomial name Dysithamnus leucostictus. The specific name is from the Ancient Greek leukos "white" and stiktos "spotted". At around 1970 it moved by at least one author to genus Thamnomanes. This treatment was not widely accepted and by the 1980s it was confirmed to belong in Dysithamnus. <p>The white-streaked antvireo and what is now the plumbeous antvireo (D. plumbeus) were for a time treated as conspecific; they were separated in the early 2000s. The white-streaked antvireo has two subspecies, the nominate D. l. leucostictus (Sclater, PL, 1858) and D. l. tucuyensis (Hartert, 1894). At least one author has treated the latter as a separate species, the "Venezuelan antvireo".

分布与栖息地
The two subspecies of the white-streaked antvireo have widely separated ranges. The nominate is found on the east slope of the Andes from central Colombia's Cundinamarca Department south through eastern Ecuador and slightly into northern Peru's departments of Cajamarca and Amazonas. D. l. tucuyensis is found in the Venezuelan Coastal Ranges from Falcón and Lara east to Miranda and further east in Monagas. It also has a small population on Tafelberg, a tepui in central Suriname.<p>The white-streaked antvireo inhabits the understorey of montane evergreen forest. In elevation it ranges between 900 and 1,800 m (3,000 and 5,900 ft) in Colombia, mostly between 1,300 and 1,800 m (4,300 and 5,900 ft) in Ecuador, between 1,350 and 1,850 m (4,400 and 6,100 ft) in Peru, and between500 and 1,900 m (1,600 and 6,200 ft) in Venezuela. On Tafelberg it occurs at about 1,000 m (3,300 ft).

North Solomons Dwarf-Kingfisher
Ceyx meeki
A small kingfisher with contrasting dark upperparts and pale underparts. Upperside is dark greenish-blue boldly flecked with bright pale blue and sporting a white neck patch. Underside is creamy white with pure white throat and yellow legs. Bill is entirely dark. Prefers mature and dense secondary forest, often perching low. No other dwarf-kingfisher shares its range. Call apparently nearly identical to that of other Melanesian dwarf-kingfishers: a high-pitched, weak repetitive whistle, often given in flight.
Short-tailed Scimitar-Babbler
Napothera danjoui
Smudgy, dark brown babbler with a short tail and a long bill shaped like a scimitar (a curved sword). Generally similar in appearance to other long-billed wren-babblers but no range overlap. Forages on the ground in lowland and mountainous broadleaved forests, often in densely vegetated areas where it can be exceedingly difficult to see; listen for its song, a series of short haunting whistles.
Scarlet-hooded Barbet
Eubucco tucinkae
Brightly colored, yellow-billed barbet. Found in dense secondary growth, especially in bamboo and around water. Males are olive green above, with a yellow belly and extensive red hood that fades into the breast and back; females are similar, but with a yellow breast and throat. The lack of red on the lower breast of females helps distinguish them from similar male Lemon-throated Barbets. Song is an even-paced series of low hoots.
