Band-tailed Cacique

Cacicus latirostris

A large cacique, more reminiscent of an oropendola than most other cacique species. Highly local in western Amazonia, where it is mostly associated with flooded forests. Despite its size, more frequently heard than seen. Usually seen in mixed flocks with other species of caciques or oropendolas, as well as in small groups of 3–5 individuals, foraging. Notice the large, sharp white bill, brownish upper back and crown, and the yellow tail. Rest of the plumage generally glossy black or grayish.

Ducula chalconota

A fairly large pigeon of montane forest interior. Green rump, pale orange chest, deep rufous belly and black band in the tail. Forages for fruit, singly or in pairs in the upper or mid-canopy. Similar to Purple-tailed Imperial-Pigeon but Rufescent occurs at higher elevations and has more extensive gray on the sides of the neck. Papuan Mountain-Pigeon more likely to co-occur but Rufescent lacks the white chest and has green rather than grey back. Not very vocal. Call a mournful downslurred “wooo”.
