Orange-cheeked Parrot
Pyrilia barrabandi
Medium-sized, boldly colored parrot of lowland rainforest. Black head with white eye patch and orange cheek is unique. Spectacular red, yellow, and blue wing patches are obvious in flight and contrast against its green body. Mostly found in upland forest, where it typically travels in pairs and small groups. Regularly visits clay licks. Call, usually given in flight, is similar to that of the more common Blue-headed Parrot, but the call is a cleaner, more pleasant “CUEET.”

Forest Fody
Foudia omissa
Sparrow-like weaver in which red-hooded breeding males are distinctive, but females and non-breeding females are drab. Madagascar endemic that is found in and adjacent to rainforest, sometimes in flocks that may include other birds. Calls are high, silvery notes, given in long series as a song. Can be very similar to Red Fody. Breeding male Forest Fody lacks red on the back and belly, though molting male Red Fody can match this pattern. Females and non-breeding males very similar, but Forest Fody is darker and more greenish, with a larger bill. Hybrids are also common and further confuse identification. Unlike Red Fody, found in the rainforest interior.
Nutting's/Salvadoran Flycatcher
Myiarchus nuttingi/flavidior
Medium-sized Myiarchus flycatcher very similar to Ash-throated Flycatcher of western North America but slightly brighter overall, with bushier crest and browner face. Best identified by voice. Ash-throated is a winter migrant throughout much of Nutting’s range. One form of Nutting’s occurs in arid scrub and oak woods of lowlands and foothills; its commonest calls are a loud “wheek” and bickering “kwidik-kwidik.” A second form of Nutting’s (“Ridgway’s Flycatcher”) occurs in hedges and semiopen country in lowlands from Chiapas south to Central America; its commonest calls are “wh’beer” and “dee-dee-dee-dee.”
