It puzzled me that Arjan missed (the handsome) Ferruginous-backed Antbird in Suriname. After he did mention the species in his latest blog post on dutchbirding.nl, I checked his list again.

It appears that he accidentally added Ferruginous Babbler in Suriname instead - a Brazilian endemic he did see in Brazil a couple of days ago. I now changed the Surinamese record to FBA.

@ Paul: this might involve a minor change in your list with unique species. I wouldn't be surprised if Noah missed it (it's a northern South-American specialty).

Cheers

Noted - I presume you mean that Ferruginous Antbird becomes Ferrugionous-backed Antbird at number 3848 and Ferruginous Antbird is added at 4004 with the overall species total increasing by one.

I'll update tonight.

All the best

Arjan Dwarshuis "I will be off the grid for the coming 5 days in the Brazilian Rainforest at the Rio Azul Jungle Lodge!!! Very excited about that, but I won't have WiFi to respond to any email or message! Happy Birding!"

And he's still on 20+ species/day - an incredible rate!

It seems a long time in one locality given the overall quest but clearly a cracking locality and he is about 500 ahead!

5 days in a lowland Amazon location is good for approx. 250-300 species, of which approx. 150 or more new.
So not too bad a rate (30/day potentially), I suppose.

 

[DMW]

Lowland tropical forest is probably the only habitat where the rate of species addition after the first day is somewhat linear, and 5 days at a species rich Amazonian lodge seems a reasonable strategy.

It is indeed, just from his facebook page

Our stay at the ‪#‎rioazuljunglelodge‬ with one of the best bird guides in the neotropics Bruno Renno, was absolutely magnificent. Highlights were many but a perched Crested Eagle, a Harpy Eagle, a Zigzag Heron, male Crimson Topaz, the enigmatic Bald Parrot, Curl-crested Aracari, Xingu Scale-Backed Antbird, Cinnamon Neopipo, Para Gnatcather, Tooth-billed Wren, Grey Tinamu, the newly described Tapajos Hermit, Bare-eyed Antbird, 11 species of woodcreeper, 6 species of manakin, 32 species of antbird, White-bellied Dacnis, Pale-bellied Mourner, Kawall's Parrot and last but not least this fantastic singing Pavonine Quetzal stand out from the rest. This place should be high on the International birding agenda! ‪#‎biggestyear‬ ‪#‎birding‬ ‪#‎pavoninequetzal‬
