Planalto Tyrannulet

Planalto Tyrannulet

Phyllomyias fasciatus

Tiny flycatcher with a shortish dark bill, dark legs, and a long slender tail. It has an olive-gray back, a pale face, a gray cap, and is pale yellow below. Note the white eyerings and two pale wingbars. Subspecies vary in plumage intensity. Found in the canopy of humid forests and woodlands where it often joins mixed-species flocks. The song is a quiet series of three notes “pew-pew-puuit.”

Green-and-white Hummingbird

Green-and-white Hummingbird

Elliotomyia viridicauda

Medium-sized hummingbird of middle elevations. Green above, white below, with a variably pinkish lower mandible. Found in humid forest and around forest edges. Distinguished with care from the very similar White-bellied Hummingbird by its completely dark underside of the tail (where there is some white in White-bellied), and by its sometimes darker lower mandible. Green-and-white Hummingbird is also typically more closely associated with forested habitats than White-bellied.

Abyssinian White-eye

Abyssinian White-eye

Zosterops abyssinicus

A small, sharp-billed warbler-like bird. Note the yellow throat, gray underparts, and narrow white spectacles around the eyes. Found in woodland, montane forest edge, mangroves, gardens, and scrub. Usually in hyperactive flocks, often joining mixed-species flocks. Similar to Heuglin’s White-eye, and some individuals are difficult to separate, but generally shows a narrower eye-ring. Most common call is a high-pitched rising rattle. Song is a quiet, chatty sequence of “chew” notes.
