Ecuador Thistletail? (1 Viewer)

[m.skalla]

Cayambe-Coca National Park. Not sure which part of the park we were in when I took these photos but we started at Papallacta Napo Province. Birds were seen in same general area. First 3 images possible White-chinned Thistletail (not Spinetail as originally posted) . 2nd three images are a different bird.

Yes. Second bird perhaps immature..?

Edit: you might consider adding one of these to opus where we only have an image of the Peruvian ssp.

Here you go. Linking wrong or something?

Edit: it's just that Peruvian ssp don't have the "classic" white chin

The title of the thread was thistletail but the text I copied said spinetail. There is no spinetail with that first part.

I don't know if it is just me, but I fail to get an impression of a long tail from the OP images.

Ah misunderstandings all around. I read no further than that title. I'm sure the op meant thistletail, not spinetail... Anyway, i'm sure it's a white-chinned thistletail...

So that is correct for the second bird. But what about the first?

Thanks for the input.
(Sry about the Spinetail - Thistletail confusion. Staying up to late reviewing my photos.)

The Fern - looked at adding a photo to the opus but not sure how to go about it (or if it needs to be done as an editor). If you are willing to add them, feel free to copy my photos if that is possible. If you can't download from here they should be available from my flickr site

Yes it's just the angle. Tail shape etc is all correct

A good first step is to add the image to the gallery here at Birdforum.

But this is the help page for adding photos to an opus page: Help:Adding a photo to a bird entry - BirdForum Opus
