Few unknowns from Amazonia Lodge, Manu, Peru (1 Viewer)

[Robert D.]

Hi, I have no doubt that these ones are readily identifiable, but I am having trouble identifying the two flycatcher/tyrannulet/elaenia types. The thrush I suspect is Black-Billed, but the bill colour isn't helping.

All seen in the garden at Amazonia Lodge, Manu, Peru in late May this year.

thanks

Robert.

hi Robert,
not sure of any of these but how about

1) gray-capped FC
2) southern scrub-flycatcher? maybe forest elaenia? or mouse-coloured tyrannulet? not at all sure on this, one for the real experts i think
3) creamy-bellied thrush

cheers,
James

I have never been there and do not know which birds are there, but the black/white on the wings in #2 reminds me of some Antbirds/Antvireos.

James and Niels thanks for looking at them.

Grey-capped flycatcher and Creamy-bellied thrush look like goers...thanks.

With Bird 2, I can't align it with any of the Antbirds/Antvireos particularly so on bill length, though it does look close for some of them. Between southern scrub-flycatcher, forest elaenia or mouse-coloured tyrannulet I had been thinking the latter, but its not on the bird list for the lodge. I appreciate that that's not necessarily conclusive in determining a species presence. I think forest elaenia can be ruled out as it appears in the guide book as having quite strong facial features. It does look like it may also be a fit for southern-scrub-flycatcher, but again its not an exact fit.

As you suggest James, possibly one for the real experts.

Rob
