P. DeBenedictis 1964 March 5 Guayaquil, Guayas Prov., Ecuador yesterday. (41) Oven-bird sp. - the Bronze Thrush of yesterday; orange murray buff above (brown or green on some), grey white below, orange on the breast; a pale grey superciliary, short bill, long pink legs; a pale trony patch on the open primary bases in flight. Flips the tail up, drops it. Flight with stiff wing beats like a Spotted Sandpiper, and the feet dangle. Calls muttically, a series of raucous short calls descending in pitch & shortening in lengths, "carrr carrrr carrr ear ear". Makes a closed mud nest about 12" long x 9" incliometric plstic on a large branch, 6-8 ft from the ground and under the canopy. Saw 10-20 and heard many more. A common bird. Fuvnarius alboventris (42) Least Sandpiper - saw about 20 in the wet areas, in the areas of submerged grass. (43) Greater Yellowlegs - saw 1 in the A.M. & 4 in the P.M.. in the same area. (44) Spotted Sandpiper - saw 2 in the same area. (45) Seedcater - grey head, brown streaked band, white spot on closed wing (white stripe in flight). white below bird to tail. May be a "non-breeding plumage of #22 but sings, a similar tinkling song. Not sure of it for it. (46) Seedcater - striking black and white in females, like a ? Yellowthroat in the female.
