Canopy Tower Bird ID's, Panama
I was at Canopy Tower a few weeks ago and I left without a positive ID on these two birds. Any thoughts? Both were on the Tower property.
Thanks!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/4414140...in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/4414140...in/photostream |

I'll try, but wait for Motmot or Birdingcraft or another of that league to be sure. I have Hummers of my own posted for ID.

Not sure what the antbird is. The ochraceous underparts and apparent grayish on head look more like female Dusky Antbird to me but the shape looks more like an antwren. Might be a White-flanked but hard to say from this image.
The hummingbird is a male Blue-chested. The blue on the breast of the Sapphire-throated reaches the malar area and eye whereas those parts are green in Blue-chested and the bird in the image.

Dusky Antbird was my thought for the first, both on color and shape- the tail seems too long for a Myrmotherula antwren.

I considered Dusky Antbird also, but the bill looked too small and light, and the tail looked a little short.
Probably is a Dusky, I wasn't sure, just taking a stab. |
