The attached photos are of 3 birds, all taken in Bogota, Colombia (elevation about 2,600 M).
The small Black Bird was a frequent garden visitor. They were very territorial. In fact, one morning I witnesed two fighting in the tree out of my upstairs window. They had grabbed one anothers leg in their beak and neither would let go. They both finally fell from the tree locked together. I went outside, picked them up and at that point they decided better to leave each other go and get away from me.
The second is a dove that was very common there also.
The last bird was one that I only saw once in all the time I was in Bogota.
I'd appreciate any help on the ID.
Thanks,
