Greenlet from Peruvian lowlands (1 Viewer)

Rubbish photo alert! Continue reading at your own risk!

This is another one from the Yanachaga Chemillen NP, in Central Peru, elevation about 400 masl.

The common greenlet over there was the lemon-chested (see photo 1), with its really obvious yellow band across the chest, contrasting with the white belly.

But on a couple of occasions I saw another, high in the canopy, of which I only managed to get these crappy photos.
This combination of grey head and neck contrasting with a yellow belly match some of the photos I've seen online of dusky-capped greenlet, though the illustration in the Princeton book for Peru is rather different. I can't find another bird that matches.
What say y'all?

Many thanks in advance.

I looked at that one, but the Schulenberg book gives it as occurring between 2000 and 3100 masl. Granted, those elevation ranges are not meant to be definitive, but it does indicate a pretty firmly Andean bird, which would be quite unexpected at 400 meters. Plus, the birds in most of Peru (south of the Marañon) are said to have a black bill.

Not a bush-tanager. As to what it might be...

...Could be the greenlet. Not sure there's enough in the pics to be sure

I think it is a Dusky-capped. It looks to be a greenlet and the colours point to that species.

Dusky Capped Greenlet, Mind the way more slender bill compared to the Bushtanagers

Thank you both for the input.
Cheers,
