Chestnut-crested Cotinga
Ampelion rufaxilla
Striking and scarce, this cotinga is found atop the canopy in the subtropical and temperate zone in the Andes. Like most cotingas, it is plump with a relatively short bill and tail. Key features include its mostly orange throat and neck and bold dark streaks on a pale yellowish belly. Also note the red eye and small chestnut shoulder patch. The namesake chestnut crest is usually laid flat down the nape, but is occasionally raised into a spectacular splayed bouquet of feathers. Occurs at lower elevations and typically in more intact forest than Red-crested Cotinga. Usually found singly or in pairs.

Pale-throated Pampa-Finch
Embernagra longicauda
Large finch with a long spiky tail. Mostly gray with olive-green wings and tail. Note the bicolored bill (dark above and yellow-orange below) and the broken white eye-ring. Inhabits higher elevations, in dry scrub, rocky areas, and grassy fields with scattered palms. Sings a high, thin “tsi, tsoweee,” repeated continually.
Tahiti Swiftlet
Aerodramus leucophaeus
A medium-sized swiftlet with a relatively long forked tail. Mostly brown with very slightly paler brown underparts and a more golden-brown rump. Most common over rocky riverine valleys and humid forests. Similar to Atiu Swiftlet but is less contrastingly patterned, overall more uniformly brown, with a paler rump and a proportionally longer tail. Also extremely similar to Marquesan Swiftlet, but appears paler-faced and lacks a pale collar. Call is an insect-like buzzing and trilling.
Flores Shortwing
Brachypteryx floris
An elusive, small songster of dense montane forest undergrowth on Flores. Male has dull blue-gray upperparts with paler gray chest and sides. Female has warm brown upperparts with more rufous on the wings, rump, and pale rufous under the tail. Both sexes have white throat and mid-belly, and a thin, white eyebrow. Female similar to Lesser Shortwing, but Flores has a gray chest. Song is a jumble of whistles and scratchy notes. Also gives a loud “tak!” call.
