Yellow-breasted Barbet

Fairly large green-backed woodpecker. The face and breast are finely speckled, with some larger black markings on the lower belly. Found in moist montane forest. Very quiet bird that occasionally gives a “kwee” call. Similar to Fine-spotted Woodpecker, but found in different habitat, lacks a red or black stripe on the face, and also lacks barring in the wing and tail.

Brown-and-yellow leaf warbler without a wingbar. Breeds in high-altitude areas, in open areas with low vegetation. Winters at lower elevations, including throughout the Indian Subcontinent south of the Himalayas, where it is most abundant in shrubbery in the northeast Indian plains and in the high Western Ghats. Resembles Sulphur-bellied Warbler, but has a yellower cheek and underparts, and shows little contrast between the eyebrow and the throat. Tickell’s spends less time on or near the ground than Sulphur-bellied, tends to flock, and often participates in mixed-species foraging flocks.

Chunky tanager, unlikely to be mistaken within limited range from eastern Panama to extreme northwest Ecuador. Mostly dull olive with brighter yellow throat and bold yellow spectacles. Note its stout bill. Sexes similar. Prefers the interior of humid lowland forest, up to around 400 m. Typically found in small groups or pairs in the understory to middle levels, often with mixed-species flocks. Often detected by its loud squeaky chatters.
