Rifleman
Acanthisitta chloris
New Zealand’s smallest bird. Tiny endemic wren with fragmented distribution across both islands. Often found in patches of mature forest and scrub. Constantly moving across tree trunks and within the canopy. More common in higher-altitude beech forest. Males are smaller, with bright green on the head and back. Females are mainly yellowish-brown. Note the short wings, the stumpy tail, and the slender, upturned black bill. Utters an almost constant high-frequency “zipt,” “pip,” or “chuck” calls while foraging that are often inaudible to people. Distinguished from South Island Wren by smaller size and shorter legs; rarely feeds on forest floor. Habitats unlikely to overlap.

Rio Negro Gnatcatcher
Polioptila facilis
A rarely encountered, mostly gray gnatcatcher of the canopy. Has slate gray upperparts and breast with a contrasting white belly, and a white eyering. Tail is long and slender with white outer feathers. Sexes similar. Restricted to white sand forests in lowlands Amazonia of Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Actively moves through the canopy, often joining mixed species feeding flocks. Voice is a fast “fui fui fui fui.” Very similar to Guianan Gnatcatcher, but note differences in voice and range.
Golden-breasted Puffleg
Eriocnemis mosquera
A fairly large hummingbird of high-elevation forest in the Andes in Colombia and Ecuador. Mostly green with an obvious golden sheen on the breast and white puffs on each leg. Long forked tail is greenish-bronze (not blackish or bluish). Sexes alike. Occurs from around 3,000–3,600 m, where it can be found in forest and edges. Visits feeders.
Barred Becard
Pachyramphus versicolor
Becards are reminiscent of flycatchers but in a different family; they are medium sized and have a rather flat head. Barred is small for a becard; males have a distinctive yellow face, black cap and back, and thin barring on the underparts. Females have a gray cap, rufous wings, and more even yellow underparts. Singles or pairs are found in forested areas, including edges and second growth. Not usually super high in the trees.
