Moustached Warbler

Medium sized, long-tailed antbird, which forages on the ground in humid forests. Strikingly patterned, but can be difficult to see. Note the rufous-brown crown, back, tail and vent, and pinkish legs. Males have black wing coverts with pale spots, a black face with a pale eyebrow, a black scalloped breast, and a white throat and belly. Females differ in having a buff throat and flanks.

Retiring inhabitant of humid tropical lowlands. Found singly, hopping on the ground in shady rainforest and tossing leaves with its bill, in search of insects and other morsels. Most often detected when disturbed or flushed, when it gives a sharp, whistled “skweek” call. Note the long and rather slender straight bill. Plumage is dark brown overall with paler mottling (not really scaling) on the throat and breast.

Small toucan found across southern Amazonia. Unlikely to be confused in range. Essentially dark above with entirely yellow underparts; note the bare blue skin above the eye. Named for the squiggly dark markings on the bill. Typically found in pairs or small groups in the canopy of lowland forest and edges, up into the foothills of the Andes. Often seen perched conspicuously on a snag, or foraging in a fruiting tree.
