Gray-throated Warbler

Small finch of grassy woodlands. Mostly brown (darker above), with a gray head, black throat, black bill, and white undertail. Black tail relatively short and rounded. Masked Finch has longer, pointed tail, yellow bill, and brown head. Feeds in grasses or on the ground, sometimes in large flocks, mixed with other species. Call is a long descending whistle.

A tiny, mostly green parrot, paler green below, with a yellowish undertail and blue uppertail. Some have a bluish cast to the crown. Male has a small orange patch on the belly. Prefers mostly primary forest, but also occurs in secondary habitats up to around 1000 meters of elevation, though often much lower. Red-breasted Pygmy-Parrot differs in its diagnostic pale face, red in males, with strong blue collar and red belly in males, limited blue cap in females. Similar Bismarck Hanging-Parrot is longer-tailed and has blue underwings in flight. Finsch’s call is a typically high-pitched “tsit” or “tsee.”

Small, yellowish-olive flycatcher that ranges mainly in northern and eastern South America as well eastern Panama. Distinguishing features include its yellow throat and breast, orange face, thick wingbars, and wide bill. Similar to Olive-faced Flycatcher, which used to be considered the same species and called Yellow-breasted Flycatcher. Note their different ranges, which mostly do not overlap. Ochre-lored Flycatcher has a brighter face with a hint of orange, more distinct wingbars, and has a different voice. Its most common call is a piercing whistle given alone or in a slow series. Occasionally also gives well-spaced rasping calls. Inhabits secondary forest and light woodland, usually avoiding the interior of mature forest.
