Ruddy-capped Nightingale-thrush
The ruddy-capped nightingale-thrush (''Catharus frantzii'') is a small thrush which is a resident breeder in mountain forests from central Mexico to western Panama. A predominantly brown-plumaged bird, it has a rich song. Taxonomy and naming The species was first described by German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1861.

Prong-billed Barbet
The prong-billed barbet (''Semnornis frantzii'') is a distinctive, relatively large-billed bird native to humid highland forest of Costa Rica and western Panama. Taxonomy and systematics The prong-billed barbet was traditionally placed in family Capitonidae ''sensu lato'' with both Neotropic and Old World barbets. However, morphological, hybridization, and DNA studies have confirmed that this arrangement is paraphyletic; New World barbets are more closely related to toucans than they are to Old World barbets. Therefore New World (Capitonidae ''sensu stricto''), African (Lybiidae), and Asian (Megalaimidae) barbets were each accorded their own families. The prong-billed barbet and the toucan barbet (''Semnornis ramphastinus'') were placed in the new family Semnornithidae. The prong-billed barbet is monotypic. Its specific epithet commemorates the German naturalist Alexander von Frantzius. Description The prong-billed barbet is long and weighs about . Its bill is silvery gray ...
