Utcubamba Tapaculo
Scytalopus intermedius
Small, plain bird found at high elevations in the eastern Andes in northern Peru. Adult male is dark gray, often looking black in the field. Females and young birds are browner, especially on the lower underparts. Similar to Large-footed Tapaculo, but smaller and has a different voice. Gives low-pitched, froglike notes either in a steady series or in shorter, faster bursts. Inhabits understory of elfin cloud forest, often near tree line, and stays low where it is hard to see.
识别特征
The Utcubamba tapaculo is small compared to other tapaculos; it is approximately 11 cm (4.3 in) long. Males weigh 16.7 to 22 g (0.59 to 0.78 oz) and females 14 to 20 g (0.49 to 0.71 oz). The male is entirely black. The female is dark gray above and somewhat lighter gray below with little of no brown on the flanks.
分类信息
The Utcubamba tapaculo was originally described as a subspecies of unicolored tapaculo (Scytalopus unicolor). Subsequent splits of two other subspecies retained it as a subspecies of blackish tapaculo. As of January 2021, the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) considers it a distinct species, but the Clements taxonomy retains it as a subspecies of blackish tapaculo (S. latrans intermedius).

European Serin
Serinus serinus
Tiny with very small, stubby bill. Both sexes are heavily streaked, with yellow rumps. Males have a bright yellow face and breast; this is gray-brown in females. Common in parks, gardens, cities, agricultural areas,and forest edges. Often sings from electricity wires, posts, TV antennas, and the tops of trees. Frantically fast song is often delivered in arcing song flight with "slow motion" wingbeats. Feeds on seeds and sometimes invertebrates.
Atlas Flycatcher
Ficedula speculigera
Very similar and closely related to European Pied Flycatcher. Males have mixed features of Collared and European Pied Flycatchers, but note very large white wing patch and big white forehead. Also note the absence of a white collar and pale rump patch on Atlas Flycatcher. Females are very difficult to distinguish, but note gray upperparts with paler rump and big white primary base patch. Song is a cheery up-and-down series, quite similar to that of European Pied. Calls subtly different from European Pied Flycatcher with a slightly more metallic "whit" and a slower tempo. Inhabits a variety of wooded habitats in the Atlas Mountains.
Imperial Eagle
Aquila heliaca
Very large; dark-brown body of adult contrasts with pale head and nape. Similar to Golden Eagle but with a shorter tail and white shoulders that can be hard to spot. The underwings are dark with low contrast. Immatures are strikingly different, sandy brown with prominent streaks and a pale rump contrasting with the dark tail and dark flight feathers. Breeds in forested areas intermixed with steppes and agricultural areas, where often seen perched on pylons. Winters in open habitats, including cropland.
