Yellow-crowned Tyrannulet (Small, small-billed flycatcher usually found in the canopy. Yellow belly with gray head and pale whitish eyebrow. Bold white wingbars. Namesake yellow crown is only sometimes visible. Sexes alike. Voice is the most obvious identification feature: listen for plaintive whistled song, “dee-DEER!”)
Rusty Margined Flycatcher – (Most similar to Social and White-ringed Flycatchers; look for combination of black cheek (not gray) and especially obvious rufous in the wings. Shorter bill than White-ringed. Voice is helpful: listen for lazy-sounding, slightly burry “wheeer” call.)

Sapphire Throated Hummingbird
Sapphire Throated Hummingbird – female (Note relatively long forked tail in both sexes. Occurs in dry woodland, scrub, and mangroves; often seen around flowering trees.)
Whooping Motmot – Green above and warm rufous below, with a black mask bordered by a dazzling cerulean crown. The crown is not solidly blue, but instead has a circular black patch in the middle as if it’s wearing a yarmulke.

Forest Elania – This nondescript flycatcher is most often detected by its call, a piercing two-parted “pee-sweet!” Visually it’s not overwhelming: yellowish underparts, olive upperparts, pale yellowish wingbars, and a gray head with a vague white eyebrow and black eyeline.

Brown Capped Tyrannulet – Tiny short-tailed flycatcher. Yellow below with white eyebrow that wraps around the forehead. No wingbars. Very similar to Yellow-bellied Tyrannulet, but note brown crown (not gray). Voice is also distinctive: a series of plaintive clear whistles descending in pitch. Found singly or in pairs, usually in the forest canopy, where it can be difficult to spot given its small size. Sometimes joins a mixed-species flock.
