Yellow-olive Flatbill
Tolmomyias sulphurescens
Rather uneventful-looking flycatcher of tropical lowlands, in both humid and drier situations. Favors forest and woodland edges, and in semiopen areas with taller trees. Perches mainly at mid-levels, when often holds its tail slightly cocked. In Mexico and Central America, can be identified by its pale eyes accentuated by whitish spectacles, a rather broad bill that is pale below, and thin, pale pinkish legs; also note the yellowish edgings to the wing feathers, not forming distinct wingbars. High, lisping call easily passed off as an insect or a begging baby bird. Several similar species occur in South America, best identified by voice.

Blue-capped Hummingbird
Eupherusa cyanophrys
Endemic and distinctive, medium-sized hummingbird found in the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur in Oaxaca. Favors humid evergreen forests and shade-coffee plantations. Mainly feeds at low to middle levels, darting quickly among flowers and flashing open its mostly white tail. Both sexes have a bright rusty panel in the wings, which appears as a blur when hovering. Male is brilliant green overall with blue cap. Female is pale gray below and has less white in the tail.

Nicobar Pigeon
Caloenas nicobarica
Spectacular ground-dwelling pigeon with long, extravagant plumes trailing down from the neck. Dark green intermixed with gray, blue, and bronzy orange, depending on the light. Tail is snow-white, but only readily visible when the bird is flushed. Generally shy, quiet, and difficult to see. Inhabits small, densely forested offshore islands from the Indian Andamans to the Solomons and New Guinea.

Gray-bellied Antbird
Ammonastes pelzelni
Small, range-restricted antbird of northwestern Amazonia. Most often found in forests on sandy soil, less frequently in dense woodland growing in the transition between upland and flooded forests. Note brownish upperparts, darker wings and tail, and grayish underparts; the male has a darker throat. Distinctive song is a fast rising series of burry whistles, similar to Plain-throated Antwren’s song but faster and more even in pace.
