Taiwan Cupwing
Pnoepyga formosana
Minuscule endemic songbird. Short wings, very short tail, and rather long legs give it the appearance of a brown ping-pong ball set on tiny chopsticks. Dark brown above, black-and-white scaly pattern below. Constantly shakes its wings as if cold. Moves about on the ground and in low vegetation in montane forests, where very difficult to see. Song a loud, strident, high-pitched series of three whistled phrases, with a pause after the first.
White-bellied Antpitta
Grallaria hypoleuca
Typical antpitta with long legs and short tail. Inhabits Andean cloud forest in Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and extreme northern Peru. Note chestnut upperparts and white underparts that may show a faint yellowish tinge. Terrestrial and heard far more often than seen. Typical song is three clear whistles, with a slight pause after the first note. It is easy to imitate.
Gray-bellied Spinetail
Synallaxis cinerascens
Small spinetail, which is largely gray-brown overall with rufous wings and tail contrasting with a black throat patch and pale chin. Very shy; inhabits the interior of humid forest where it is found in dense understory vegetation. The song is a high-pitched series of “teeep-tepeee” notes.
