Black-cheeked Ant-Tanager
Driophlox atrimaxillaris
Large tanager usually found close to the ground. Male is sooty gray with black face and bright red throat that bleeds onto chest. Red crown not usually visible. Females have paler buffy-orange throat. Usually seen in small flocks as they forage through the forest understory. Listen for harsh scolding notes that might cue you into a flock.
Dusky Twinspot
Euschistospiza cinereovinacea
Unusual, very dark twinspot with small and faint “twin spots” on the belly. The red rump is conspicuous in flight. Found in grassy areas along forest edge and in lush cultivation. Not very vocal, but gives quiet twitters and a “tsip” call. Similar in size and overall coloration to Dusky Crimsonwing, but shows red on the flanks and none on the face.
Puna Plover
Anarhynchus alticola
Rather chunky, small plover of Andean salt flats, bogs, and lakeshores. Found singly or in small groups, sometimes associating loosely with other shorebirds such as migrant Baird’s Sandpipers. Plumage distinctive (no seasonal changes), with broad black diagonal mask across the face, a variable rusty cap (males average brighter than females), and only faint dusky breast bands. Juvenile lacks black and rusty head pattern and is rather drab overall, but no similar species in range (soon attains adultlike plumage).
