    Geospizopsis sp. (Seven lakes of Ausangate, Cusco, Peru)

    Hello everyone! I saw these two different birds on March 6th on the tour of the seven lakes of Ausangate (Cusco, Peru). I think they both belong to the genus Geospizopsis and, more specifically, that they are both ash-breasted sierra finches (Geospizopsis plebejus). However, I also consider them...

    Trogon sp. (Manu Biolodge, Cusco, Peru)

    Hello everyone! I saw this bird on October 6th at Manu Biolodge (Cusco, Peru). What species of Trogon do you think it is? I would also like to use this thread to ask you how to identify the different species of red-bellied trogons that can be found here when their position doesn't let me see...

    Chalcostigma ruficeps (Wayqecha Biological Station, Cusco, Peru)

    Hello again! I saw this bird on September 24th at Wayqecha Biological Station (Cusco, Peru). Considering the altitude of this site, my main option is the rufous-capped thornbill (Chalcostigma ruficeps). However, the apparent absence of a bright green gorget makes me think of other similar...

    Turdus sp. (Manu Biolodge, Cusco, Peru)

    Hello everyone! I saw these birds on October 14th at Manu Biolodge (Cusco, Peru). Each number indicates a different individual. According to the Merlin app, the species to expect in the area are the Hauxwell's thrush (Turdus hauxwelli) and the black-billed thrush (Turdus ignobilis). Which of...

    Pitangus sulphuratus (Manu Biolodge, Cusco, Peru)

    Hello everyone! I saw this bird on August 17th at Manu Biolodge (Cusco, Peru). I think it is a great kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus), but I would like to know your thoughts about it.

    Conirostrum cinereum (Cusco, Peru)

    Hello everyone! I saw this bird some days ago in Plaza San Francisco (Cusco, Peru). I think it is a cinereous conebill (Conirostrum cinereum), but I wanted to confirm it since I am not used to the species in the area.

    Falco sp. (Madrid, Spain)

    Thank you all for your answers. Since there hasn't been a general consensus on the identification and Falco eleonorae would be a lifer for me, I will leave it as Falco sp. I'll have to wait for a future sighting before crossing it off the list!

    Falco sp. (Madrid, Spain)

    Other birders have also mentioned the nightjar option, but we believe this is due to the fact that the tail is in an odd (half-open) position in the photo. With our field observations we are almost sure that they were falcons. Some other people agree with us and are mainly divided between the...

    Falco sp. (Madrid, Spain)

    Hello everyone! Yesterday I saw two Falco sp. flying together over a pine forest in the northeastern mountains of Madrid (Spain). I saw them briefly late in the evening, when it was already getting dark. I include here (original size and cropped) the only two pictures I managed to take before...
