Long-tailed Thrush
Zoothera dixoni
Earthen-toned and rather heavy-bellied thrush. Matte brown above and white below with dense black scaling on the underparts. Chinese Thrush and species of the Alpine Thrush complex can be similar; note Long-tailed’s wingbars, fine scaling (not solid dots), and proportionally longer tail. Forages on the forest floor in foothill and montane forest, especially in areas with rhododendrons and conifers; descends in elevation in the winter. Song sounds tired and drawn-out, consisting of long buzzy notes and hoarse warbling.

Alipiopsitta xanthops
A very distinctive mostly green parrot with a yellow face, a yellowish belly, and orange-red thighs. Note the dark upper bill.

Spot-backed Puffbird
Nystalus maculatus
A chunky species with a strong orangish bill and collar. Males and females are dark brown overall with a heavy streaking on the crown, back, and breast. Note the piercing yellow eye. Occurs in light woodlands, savanna, plantations, and scrubby areas. The song is an undulating and far carrying “tewre-tewtewretewtewre.”
Spotted Woodcreeper
Xiphorhynchus erythropygius
Medium to large woodcreeper of humid evergreen and pine-evergreen forest in highlands and foothills. Feeds at all levels on trunks and larger branches, often at bromeliads. Straightish and rather stout bill is dark above and pale below. Note the pale buff spectacles and distinct pale spotting and scalloping on head, breast, and back (populations south of western Honduras lack spotting on back.)
