Sumba Boobook

Medium-sized antpitta found only in a small area of the eastern Andes in south central Peru, not far from the city of the same name. Plumage is rich chestnut-brown with a hint of buff on the belly. Similar to Urubamba Antpitta but lacks a pale eyering. Knowledge of geographical range and song is very helpful for ID. Gives a short whistle repeated every couple of seconds as well as a quick, descending series of throaty notes. Inhabits cloud forest at high elevations and usually stays well-hidden on the ground, though may perch higher to sing. It was described as a new species in 2020, having previously been considered a form of Chestnut Antpitta.

Odd-looking, chunky, sparrowlike bird with a strong bill. Body is heavily streaked; most distinctive features are the dark brown crown and well-marked pale eyebrows. A yellow spot on the throat is rarely visible in the field. Found in open and rocky country from stony hillsides to villages and farmland. The call "vui" is quite memorable.

A small olive-gray honeyeater with a circular pale yellow cheek patch and a relatively fine bill. Can be confused with Lewin’s Honeyeater and Yellow-spotted Honeyeater, but note the shape of the cheek patch: crescent-shaped on Lewin’s Honeyeater and oval on Yellow-spotted Honeyeater. Adults also have a blue-gray eye while Lewin’s has a bluish eye and Yellow-spotted has a brown eye. Found on the Cape York Peninsula and southern New Guinea.
