Hooded Tinamou
Nothocercus nigrocapillus
Fairly large, terrestrial bird of Andean cloud forest. It has a gray head, a white throat, white speckling on the wings, and faint barring on the belly. Similar to White-throated Tinamou, but Hooded has a grayer head, a less mottled neck, and a different voice, and is found at higher elevations. Very shy and solitary, heard far more often than seen; song is a nasal “ow” repeated every few seconds.
White-browed Tapaculo
Scytalopus superciliaris
Small, mouse-like bird of the high Andes in NW Argentina. Found in lower, more humid forest than similar Zimmer’s Tapaculo. Prefers humid montane forest hillsides and ravines, especially with dense understory. Most often found by voice: a burry, emphatic, two part ”skyew-yew”.
Buff-throated Purpletuft
Iodopleura pipra
A diminutive, dumpy, long winged, and shorted tail bird of the canopy in humid forests. Mostly dark gray above with a contrasting cinnamon throat. It has a pale band across the rump and a pale scaly belly. The small purple tuft patch on the wings is usually hard to see and is lacking in females.
