Pale-billed Hornbill
Lophoceros pallidirostris
Mid-sized gray hornbill with a white belly and horn-colored bill. The white tail corners are conspicuous in floppy flight. The sexes are similar, though males have a larger casque on top of the bill. Generally uncommon in miombo woodland. Usually in pairs or small groups. Similar to African Gray Hornbill, but has less contrasting overall coloration, and an entirely pale rather than mostly dark bill.

Orange-banded Flycatcher
Nephelomyias lintoni
A small flycatcher restricted to high-elevation Andean cloud forest in southeastern Ecuador and adjacent areas of northern Peru. Darker than other small flycatchers in range and rather distinctive; orange-tinged underparts, buffy wingbars, and mostly orange bill are helpful identification features. Eye is pale in some birds and dark in others. Usually seen high in the trees, where it often gives a soft “tink” call over and over.
Northern Jacana
Jacana spinosa
Fancy-looking, vaguely chicken-like bird of freshwater marshes, lakes, and ponds in tropical lowlands, locally in highlands. Walks with high-stepping gait, often on top of floating vegetation (note its very long toes!). Adult is chestnut overall with black head and neck; immature looks very different, with creamy-white face, neck, and underparts. Bright yellow wings striking in flight, when birds usually give shrieks and other raucous calls. Flies with stiff wingbeats and glides, the long feet trailing out behind.
Meek's Lorikeet
Vini meeki
An entirely green lorikeet, often seen in flight, with a long, pointed yellow-tipped tail and a small bluish crown patch. Bill and feet orange. Somewhat nomadic, but dependent on primary forest. Generally found above 300 meters of elevation, but will visit lowlands to feed. Call is a high-pitched “tsit” or “tsee.”
