Chestnut-throated Huet-huet
Pteroptochos castaneus
Fairly common but elusive; heard far more often than seen. Favors native temperate forest and adjacent shrubbery, especially bamboo. Feeds on the ground by scratching with its big feet in leaf litter, and runs very quickly and stealthily. Agitated birds can call loudly from middle level perches, cocking their tail. Nests in burrows, but can nest high up in tree hollows. Plumage distinctive, with pale eyering, deep rusty throat and breast, and blue gray back. No range overlap with Black-throated Huet-huet.

Black-breasted Barbet
Pogonornis rolleti
Large, mostly black barbet with a huge white bill. Note the black breast and the red, white, and black belly. Found locally in savanna, woodland, gardens, and secondary growth, often in the vicinity of figs and other fruiting trees. Usually in pairs or small groups. Gives rasping calls and a nasal yelping call. Somewhat similar to Bearded and Double-toothed Barbet, but easily separated by the black rather than red breast.

Black-backed Barbet
Pogonornis minor
A large chunky barbet with a pale bill, red crown and apricot belly-patch. Variable, some authorities consider it two species; western populations are mostly brownish on the face, while those farther east have contrasting dark upperparts and white underparts. Immatures are duller. Pairs are resident in woodland, riverine forest and gardens, where they are unobtrusive. Calls a harsh “krek” and a trilled toy-like buzzing similar to Broad-billed Roller.

Black-crowned Tityra
Tityra inquisitor
Handsome, mostly silvery gray bird of tropical lowland forest and adjacent semi-open areas with taller trees. Usually found at mid-upper levels of fruiting trees, sometimes in small groups that mix readily with the commoner Masked Tityra. Black-crowned is told from slightly larger Masked by its solidly black bill. Male is more silvery overall, with a black cap; female had brown face and smaller black cap. Tityras nest in tree cavities, that they sometimes steal from woodpeckers.
