Sooty Flycatcher
Artomyias fuliginosa
Unusual small, chunky flycatcher. At a distance looks entirely dark, but a good view reveals a chocolate brown base color and paler brown streaking on the underparts. Has long, pointed wings and looks like a bit like a swallow in flight. Found in rainforest, where it perches up on dead trees, especially at the forest edge and around clearings. Often in small groups. Not very vocal, but does give a quiet, variable song of squeaks, whistles, and trills. Easily separated from other flycatchers by very dark plumage and unusual habits.

Yellow-thighed Brushfinch
Atlapetes tibialis
Unique sooty-gray bird with odd yellow tufts of feathers at the base of each leg. Darker black on head and wings. Rather hefty and long-tailed with sizable conical bill. Typically found close to the ground, working through low tangles and bushes in pairs or small groups. Prefers forest and edges. Sexes alike; juveniles lack yellow but overall color diagnostic (and usually in group with adults).
European Red-rumped Swallow
Cecropis rufula
Brightly-colored swallow with a deeply forked tail, pale orangish rump, black squared-off undertail coverts, an incomplete orange collar, and faint streaking below. Juveniles average paler and lack extensive orangish tones; may resemble house-martins but note deeply forked tail. Typically glides on stiff, flat wings, flying quite languidly with shallow wingbeats. Builds mud nests in mountains, on sea cliffs, and on buildings and other structures. Forages over open areas. Frequently gives a short, sparrow-like “twi’wit.” Very similar to African Red-rumped Swallow, but shows much heavier streaking below.
Rufous-faced Antpitta
Grallaria erythrotis
Medium-sized antpitta found in the Andes of Bolivia and far southeastern Peru near the border. Adult is grayish-brown with a rufous face and a white throat and belly. The rarely-seen juvenile is darker and heavily barred with buff. Inhabits dense understory of humid forest; usually stays on the ground when not singing, making it very hard to see. Typical song consists of three short whistles; the first note is lower in pitch than the other two.
