Graceful Prinia
Prinia gracilis
Tiny, disproportionately long-tailed, active, and vocal. The upperparts are gray-brown with heavy dark streaking, the underparts are pale, and each tail feather shows both pale and dark tips. Generally found in rather moist habitats within arid zones, including field margins, riparian woodland, scrub, gardens, and wetlands; can be quite numerous. Very vocal, especially in spring. The song is a long series of dry chirps with a very slight pause between notes, subtly different from the rattling song of Delicate Prinia. Males often sing from obvious perches. Visually extremely similar to Delicate Prinia, but there is little overlap in range. In any areas of overlap, best separated by song, but Graceful is also slightly shorter- and broader-tailed and grayer.
分类信息
A study published in 2021 concludes that the graceful prinia should be split from the delicate prinia.<p>The International Ornithological Congress followed this change in an update later that year.

Mottled Piculet
Picumnus nebulosus
Tiny woodpecker with a warm buffy-brown back and collar, and buffy belly with dark streaks. Males have a red forehead. Occurs in lowland humid forest and Araucaria forests with dense understory, including bamboo forests. There it forages at middle levels, singly or with mixed-species flocks.
Gray-headed Batis
Batis orientalis
A typical black, white, and gray batis. Note the chest band, which is black in males and chestnut in females. Found in dry savanna and thornscrub, often in pairs. Very similar to Western Black-headed Batis, and best distinguished by voice, but usually shows a paler gray crown. Also similar to Pygmy Batis, but larger, and the white eyebrow extends well behind the eye. The distinctive song is a descending series of several whistled notes.
Ayacucho Antpitta
Grallaria ayacuchensis
Medium-sized antpitta found only in a small area of the eastern Andes in south central Peru, not far from the city of the same name. Plumage is rich chestnut-brown with a hint of buff on the belly. Similar to Urubamba Antpitta but lacks a pale eyering. Knowledge of geographical range and song is very helpful for ID. Gives a short whistle repeated every couple of seconds as well as a quick, descending series of throaty notes. Inhabits cloud forest at high elevations and usually stays well-hidden on the ground, though may perch higher to sing. It was described as a new species in 2020, having previously been considered a form of Chestnut Antpitta.
