Snow Mountain Quail
Synoicus monorthonyx
A huge quail of alpine grasslands. Plump, yellow bill and legs, black bars and white streaks on the back. Female has distinctive, black-edged, white arrow marks on the chest whereas the male has a black barred chest with deep rufous throat and underparts. No other quails share the habitat, and the only thing that might cause confusion when flushed would be a woodcock or snipe which have long bills. Flushes in a loud whir of wings while giving a high squealing call.

Scarlet-banded Barbet
Capito wallacei
Spectacular cloud forest bird found only in remote mountains east of the main cordillera of the Andes in northern Peru. Distinctive in its small range with red crown and breast band, white throat, and yellow flanks. Usually encountered in pairs or small groups that feed on fruit in the forest canopy. Song is a soft, low-pitched gurgle; it also gives weird rattling calls.
Barred Puffbird
Nystalus radiatus
An unobtrusive bird with an oversized head and bill. Look for tiger-striped pattern—warm cinnamon-brown overall with uneven black barring. Also note slightly darker cap and staring pale eye. Uncommon; found around forest edge and secondary woodland in the lowlands from Panama to western Ecuador. Perches still for long periods of time, often on an exposed perch. Frequently detected by distinctive wolf-whistling calls.
Javan Kingfisher
Halcyon cyanoventris
Large kingfisher with a massive lipstick-red bill. Note dark head, dark chestnut throat and chest, purplish body, electric blue wings, and large black shoulder patch. Bright white wing patches revealed in flight. Uses a variety of both wet and dry lowland and foothill habitats, including ponds, mangroves, agricultural fields, open forest, and scrub. Can be close to human habitation. Gives high piping screams, often in series.
