Scaled Metaltail
One of Peru's 6 species of metaltails, this one only found in the far southeast (Cuzco and Puno) extending into Bolivia. Note the coppery-green tail, the best distinguishing feature from the common Tyrian Metaltail, which is usually found at lower elevations.- Thibaud

Diademed Tapaculo
A lovely and well-named tapaculo, which gave us great views just by a little creek, in the exact same spot where we also had a pair of Puna Tapaculos!- Thibaud

Puno Antpitta
One of the southernmost members of the Rufous Antpitta complex, only found in a small area straddling the Peru-Bolivia border. It was lovely seeing it in the Sina Valley, which gives it its scientific name!- Thibaud

Slaty Gnateater
Having had very little luck with its northern relative, the Chestnut-crowned gnateater, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that this species was both vocal and common in Puno, which led to two great encounters!- Thibaud

Yungas Warbler
A split from Three-striped Warbler, this is one of a number of species that only barely reach over the border from Bolivia, and thus very attractive to us Peru listers hehe- Thibaud

Bolivian Tapaculo
Like its northern relative, S. atratus, this tapaculo stands out for the white blaze on its forehead - always nice to see a splash of contrast on these ones!- Thibaud

Buff-thighed Puffleg
An unassuming hummingbird, but quite pretty if seen well. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't regularly visit feeders anywhere, so there aren't too many photos of it.- Thibaud

Darwin's Nothura
In Peru, this tiny tinamou is only found in a few places, mostly in grasslands around the Titicaca basin. This one crossed the road right in front of us and lingered just long enough for this dodgy shot before vanishing in the grass.- Thibaud

Green-capped tanager
A beautiful tanager with an abominable scientific name and a tiny range straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia, it took us hours walking up and down the dusty road until we finally saw a pair, right below a miraculous little path that allowed us to scramble up the hill and relocate them...- Thibaud
