sooty-capped puffbird Bucco noanamae

Handsome puffbird endemic to the lowlands of northwestern Colombia. Note the sizeable bill and wide black breast band. Brown back and dark spots on the chest separate it from other similar puffbirds in range. Inhabits humid forest and mangroves, occasionally venturing into lighter woodland, and perches at low to medium heights. Song is a long series that starts out very fast and then slows down to a steady cadence: “do-wit, do-wit, do-wit…”
