Rusty-flanked Treecreeper

Certhia nipalensis

Well-marked treecreeper with a tiny bill, warm brown upperparts, and a dark brown ear patch on a white face. Warm rusty tones on the sides contrast sharply with a clean white throat and may meld into dark upperparts at a distance. Resembles Hodgson’s Treecreeper, but has a straighter- and shorter-billed profile and warm tones on the sides. Like other treecreepers, forages by scaling trees and branches, often in flocks with other species.

Blue-faced Honeyeater

Blue-faced Honeyeater

Entomyzon cyanotis

Large and conspicuous honeyeater with striking patch of bare facial skin: blue in adults, green in juveniles. White underparts and bright olive upperparts. Face black with white streaks on neck and chin. Usually found in noisy groups—often bickering with other bird species. Usually found in open woodlands and gardens. Can be very common in suburban areas.

Western Bronze-naped Pigeon

Western Bronze-naped Pigeon

Columba iriditorques

Blackish, short-tailed, medium-sized pigeon. Both sexes have reddish underparts, and the male shows a contrastingly gray head. There is a buff tip to the tail which can be conspicuous in flight. Found in rainforest and gallery forest. Inconspicuous bird that spends most of its time in the forest canopy. Song is a “bouncing ball” accelerating series of low hoots. Fairly similar to Lemon Dove, but rarely found in the understory, and has a dark face. Male could be confused with Blue-headed Wood-Dove, but has a much darker back, and is usually found higher in the forest.

Barred Fruiteater

Barred Fruiteater

Pipreola arcuata

Chunky, short-tailed, flat-headed bird patterned in green and black. Male has black head and breast, pale yellow belly with bold dark barring, and mossy green upperparts with bold pale spotting on the wing. Female is similar but has a green head with barring all the way up the throat. On both sexes, note red bill and legs and pale eye varying from orange to gray to whitish. Fairly common in stunted forested habitats in the upper subtropical and temperate zone in the Andes. Sluggish; perches quietly in the middle levels of the forest, sometimes following a mixed-species flock. May be seen singly or in pairs, but several can gather around a fruiting tree. Listen for super high-pitched calls.
