It's a pretty good atmospheric shot though ....not a bird photo at all in that sense.
Should have a Golden Eagle or something in it like one of those Tunnicliffe/Thorburne paintings.... Anyways, size probably way out.... Wren?? Edit: or maybe a Stonechat then lol

ok
maybe this is too hard! a couple of "clues"... the species involved does not occur in europe if you can identify the habitat then you'll be well on the way to getting the bird |

I think my toy identification is worse than my bird identification
PS never been to Peru, so probably don't know it anyhow.

I can only find one that occurs over 4000 m, in Polylepis woodland – I assume that's the one?

Stripe-headed is the bird I mean. I can't even recognise the Polylepis, but then I haven't been to Peru (yet).
