Brazil - Sao Paulo IDs (1 Viewer)

A few more mystery birds from Dec. 2006 in Peruibie , a coastal town near Sao Paulo Brazil. The town had abundant Rufous Horneo which is my best guess for brirds 1 thru 3 - but I recall thinking this was not Horneo when I snapped the photos..
not much to go on but the photos were not adjusted , only zoomed , the bird was larger than a sparrow , probably Tanager in size , the weather was overcast .

Last Pic is taken the same day , a probable Creamy-bellied Thrush , the only thrush species I saw In this town. Please let me know your valued opinions , I know they are difficult photos to work with.
Thanks for any Help !

The first three could be Rufous Hornero but I can't tell without seeing the head.

The last looks like Creamy-bellied Thrush.

Hi Stephen,

I'm not sure about the first bird, but Rufous Hornero seems ok.

The second bird is most likely Creamy-bellied Thrush, as you said. The field marks seem to fit. In addition, it's the only possible thrush fr the region (as far as I know, Pale-breasted isn't found in coastal São Paulo, and that's obviously no Rufous-bellied; EDIT: Don't know if Eastern Slaty-Thrush occurs there, bur Creamy-bellied is the most common anyhow)

Cheers!

It is hard to tell for sure but the greenish tone of the plumage of the bird in the first 3 pics and your statement about size makes me think it might be a Palm Tanager.

I'm with Dalcio, the first 3 looks like a Palm Tanager, almost sure. The last one is hard to tell but most likely Creamy-bellied Thrush.

Thankyou Dalico and Octavio. I was pretty convinced I had seen Palm Tanager in the Area but never checked it off because they were far-away views. I will defer to you guys on this , Palm Tanager was a bird that crossed my mind when I saw it and it was smaller than Rufous Horneo . Thankfully I had much better views of this Tanager in Costa Rica .

I appreciate your help !
