Plumed Guineafowl
Guttera plumifera
A large, shy black gamebird with ornate white spots, found in tall, open understory of tropical lowland forest. Named for the conspicuous plume of black feathers on top of its head, this species also possesses a distinctive dark and featherless face. Vocalizations are not well described, but appear to consist of quacking cackles and raucous, nasal “kak-kak-kak” series. Range overlaps only with the smaller Black Guineafowl, which has a mostly naked bright red head and lacks the Plumed Guineafowl’s crest and conspicuous white spotting.

Apurimac Brushfinch
Atlapetes forbesi
Localized red-headed sparrow-like bird. Has an ashy gray body, a rusty red head, a black face, and white lores and mustache. Forages on or near the ground in scrub and Polylepis woodlands at high elevations. Listen for a choppy series of high metallic whines, buzzy whistles, and chips.
Sooty Owl
Tyto tenebricosa
Medium-sized dark-gray owl with prominent facial disc and white speckles through the plumage. This handsome species inhabits rainforest, wet eucalypt forest, and surrounding habitats. Its pale feet seem too large for its body. The northern subspecies is smaller and paler. Main calls include a high-pitched "falling-bomb" whistle and insect-like squeaks and trills.
Sladen's Barbet
Gymnobucco sladeni
Dark, chunky barbet with an odd tuft of buff feathers on its forehead. Usually found in small groups on and around dead trees in lowland rainforest, gallery forest, and secondary growth. Sometimes occurs alongside Gray-throated Barbet. The vocalizations include nasal “squeaky toy” calls and agitated dry rattles. Gray-throated Barbet also has a dark bill, but Sladen’s Barbet is separated from that species by its largely unfeathered head.
