Tschudi's Tapaculo
Scytalopus acutirostris
Small tapaculo of high-elevation cloud forest in the eastern Andes of northern and central Peru. Male is uniformly gray; female is paler and browner with extensive buffy barring. Similar to several other tapaculos and best identified by range, habitat, and voice. Inhabits understory of wet, mossy forest. Typical song is very long; it starts with well-spaced chip notes and gradually morphs into bursts of rattling trills.

Black-eared Seedeater
Crithagra mennelli
Medium-sized brown, heavily streaked seedeater. Note the boldly marked face with a streaked crown, white eyebrow, and broad black patch through the eye. Found in miombo and mopane broadleaf woodland. Gives a pretty, musical up-and-down song of whistles and trills. The call is a harsh “chu-we-dit.” Similar to Reichard’s and Streaky-headed Seedeaters, but has a much bolder and more contrasting facial pattern.
Philippine Nightjar
Caprimulgus manillensis
A medium-sized night bird of forest and open areas from the lowlands to the mountains. Heavily patterned in various shades of brown, with finely barred underparts, blotching on the chest, and dark wings with large pinkish and white spots and a broad pale bar bordered with black. Note the white lines on the side of the throat with a black line below, and the broad white band on the end of the undertail. Voice is a distinctive, loud two-noted “pyok prraw,” the second note slightly lower and with a vibrating quality.
