Long-billed Cuckoo
Chalcites megarhynchus
A little-known cuckoo from lowland rainforest. Slender with long, thin bill that droops at tip. Males have dark cap, and red eye and eye-ring. Females have grey head and dark bill. Perches upright and motionless in sub-canopy. Voice a whistled, 2-note call with short first note, followed by loud descending note, “pu piiuuu!”. Similar to Tawny-breasted Honeyeater, but Long-billed Cuckoo is much less active with barring on the undertail. From Dwarf Koel by lack of white face mark and longer, thinner bill

Black Laughingthrush
Melanocichla lugubris
The otherwise solidly dark plumage of this laughingthrush is punctuated by a patch of bare bluish-gray skin behind the eye and a bright orange-red bill. Favors the lower levels of foothill and submontane broadleaved forests; often in pairs or small flocks, sometimes mixed in with other species. Gives loud high-pitched bubbling clucks, often in prolonged series.
Crimson-crowned Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus porphyraceus
A colorful dove that often sits motionless in the canopy. Males are distinctive, with a bright silver face and chest, a purple forehead, and a bright yellow tip to the tail. Female similar but more subtly colored. Female resembles female Many-colored Fruit-Dove, but has a bolder crimson forehead and a less contrasting green neck. Call is usually two low cooing notes followed by an accelerating, messy cacophony of similar notes.
Blackish Oystercatcher
Haematopus ater
Distinctive large chunky shorebird of rocky coasts, adjacent sandy beaches and river mouths. The only all-dark oystercatcher in South America, readily identified by wholly dark plumage, long orange-red bill, thick pinkish legs. Found as singles and pairs, less often small flocks (mainly when roosting), and associates readily with Magellanic and especially American Oystercatchers. Loud piping whistles sound similar to American Oystercatcher.
