Oxapampa Antpitta
Grallaria centralis
Medium-sized antpitta described to science in 2020. It inhabits high elevation cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes in central Peru. Plumage is mostly chestnut brown with a pale patch on the belly. It does not show a distinct eyering or any gray in the crown, which helps to separate it from similar antpittas in the region. Voice is also very useful; songs include a single whistle repeated every four to five seconds as well as a quick, descending series. Usually stays low inside tangles where it is hard to see.
分类信息
The Oxapampa antpitta was described as a new species based on differences in plumage color, vocalizations and mitochondrial genetic evidence. The birds in the Oxapampa antpitta's range were formerly ascribed to G. blakei.<p>The common name reflects the Oxapampa province where specimens of the species were first collected. The specific name, centralis, reflects its range's proximity to the geographic center of Peru.

Common Sandpiper
Actitis hypoleucos
Small bicolored sandpiper which often bobs its tail in a distinctively wagtail-like manner. Plain brown with white underparts; distinguished from bulkier and rounder-headed Green Sandpiper by a prominent white spur at the shoulder. Found in a variety of wetland habitats; breeds on stony ground along rivers and lakeshores, with migrants occurring on muddy and rocky substrates from concrete canal banks to channels in tidal mudflats. Mainly found as singles or in small groups, not in flocks or mixed with other species.
White-throated Towhee
Melozone albicollis
Large, rather plain brownish sparrow endemic to dry interior foothills and highlands, mainly in Oaxaca. Generally quite common and conspicuous. Found in brushy woodlands, gardens, and farmland with hedges; often in pairs or small social groups. Feeds mainly on the ground, but also at low to middle levels in bushes and brush. Subtly attractive if seen well, with a white bib, rusty throat band, and rusty vent.
Common Woodshrike
Tephrodornis pondicerianus
A medium-sized woodshrike with grayish-brown upperparts, black facial mask, white rump, and gray tail with white outer tail feathers. Bill strongly hooked, dark grayish-brown in color. Underparts white. Similar to Malabar Woodshrike and Large Woodshrike, but generally found in drier forests; also note prominent white supercilium. Usually found in dry forested areas and shrublands. Bright, fast-paced song starts out with two strident “wheeet” notes, followed by a descending series of shorter notes. Calls vary, but usually sound like isolated fragments of song.
