Green Longtail
Urolais epichlorus
A distinctive apalis-like bird of scrub and forest edge in the mountains, where it is commonly encountered in small family groups. Dingy white below and uniformly green above. Named for its long, thin green tail feathers that can be longer than the rest of the body. While tail length varies by age and sex, it always appears relatively long. Song is a distinctive, rising series of psip-like notes, “ree-Ree-Ree-REE!”, sometimes given with a duetted “tik-tik-tik-tik.”

Pinnated Bittern
Botaurus pinnatus
Cryptic heron of freshwater marshes in tropical lowlands. Usually in areas with tall grasses or rushes, rarely in open situations. When alarmed, often freezes motionless with neck upstretched. The neck is finely barred horizontally, but the body plumage is vertically streaked (not horizontally barred and banded, as on immature tiger-herons). Compare with immature night-herons, which have streaked, not finely barred necks.
Black-billed Barbet
Lybius guifsobalito
A medium-sized black barbet with a mostly red head. With a good look, pale edges to the wing feathers are visible. Found at middle elevations in woodland, scrub, and cultivated areas, usually in pairs or small groups. Similar to Red-faced Barbet, but ranges don’t overlap, and Black-billed is easily separated by much more extensive red on the head. The vocalizations include a low growling and an explosive series of two-syllabled “KOOP-pup” phrases.
Yellow-winged Tanager
Thraupis abbas
Fairly common in tropical lowlands and foothills, favoring forest edge and woodland, as well as semi-open areas such as towns and gardens with larger trees. Mainly feeds at mid-upper levels in trees, eating fruit, and perches readily on phone wires. Often appears rather dull, but yellow square on black wings is a good field mark; in good light, lilac plumage tones can be appreciated. Often in the same areas as Blue-gray Tanager, and the calls of the two species are also rather similar.
