Moluccan Drongo-Cuckoo
Surniculus musschenbroeki
A blackish, drongo-like cuckoo with a shallow forked tail and broad outer tail tips. Note the slim bill and the barring on the base of the undertail, and on the underwings in flight. Juvenile shows extensive white spotting. Singles and pairs inhabit forest and forest edge within lowlands and foothills. Smaller and slimmer-billed than drongos, with a shallower tail fork and barring in the plumage. Song is a distinctive series of 5-9 whistled notes, each rising up the scale: “ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki.”

Forest Elaenia
Myiopagis gaimardii
This nondescript flycatcher is most often detected by its call, a piercing two-parted “pee-sweet!” Visually it’s not overwhelming: yellowish underparts, olive upperparts, pale yellowish wingbars, and a gray head with a vague white eyebrow and black eyeline. Fairly small and similar to other species of elaenia and flycatchers; voice is most useful feature for identification. Usually seen singly in the canopy of lowland forest, often following mixed-species flocks. Widespread from Panama to Brazil.
Bennett's Woodpecker
Campethera bennettii
A medium-sized woodpecker with spotted rather than streaked or barred underparts. The male has unmarked white cheeks and throat, and red moustachial streaks and crown, while the female has a distinctive brown throat, cheek, and eye-stripes. Pairs and small groups avoid drier scrub, preferring mature broadleaved woodland, foraging for ants, termites and their larvae, mostly on the ground. The similar Reichenow’s Woodpecker differs from Bennett’s Woodpecker by being smaller, having a diagnostic speckled throat and less bold facial pattern.
Rufous-bellied Chachalaca
Ortalis wagleri
Noisy, long-tailed game bird of tropical forest and edge, usually found in small groups. Endemic to west Mexico. Most often detected by its raucous song, which carries well. Feeds on ground and also high in trees, where runs along branches; eats fruit. For a big bird, can be surprisingly hard to see (wary in areas where hunted), and slips away from view quite easily. The dark rusty belly and tail tips are diagnostic. Inland from Puerto Vallarta, may hybridize with West Mexican Chachalaca.
