    Medellin, Colombia

    The Fern, thanks for the input on the wing coverts, didn't know that one... it is M.cayanensis and not M.similis because M.similis would have a lighter black face mask and greener/olivier back, and this one shows the rusty margins on the primaries that are characteristic of Rusty-margined Fly...

    Rhinocryptidae

    not going to get involved again and again and again into this crap Thomas, so this is my last posting... anyways, answering the above: it differs in that my clearly commercial, recreational, birding, not so important, videos and posts are not THE BOOK; my personal/company stuff don't have as...
