Dusky-tailed Canastero
Pseudasthenes humicola
The dusky-tailed canastero is 14 to 16 cm (5.5 to 6.3 in) long and weighs 18 to 24 g (0.63 to 0.85 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a narrow whitish supercilium on an otherwise dark gray-brown face with faint paler streaks. Their crown is dark brown, their back a slightly paler brown, and paler brown rump and uppertail coverts that have a rufescent tinge. Their wings are mostly the same brown as the back with dull rufous on the shoulder. Voice: The dusky-tailed canastero has two songs which are mostly sung during the breeding season. One is squeaky disyllabic notes "gradually becoming louder, higher-pitched, and longer in duration after which notes again get fainter, shorter, and lower-pitched...chi-wee.. chi-wee". The other is a "long, somewhat variable dry rattling trill which descends in pitch".

Long-billed Woodcreeper
Nasica longirostris
The long-billed woodcreeper is one of the largest woodcreepers, with a slim body, small head, long neck, long tail, and an exceptionally long, slightly decurved, bill. It is 34 to 36 cm (13 to 14 in) long and weighs 78 to 92 g (2.8 to 3.2 oz). The sexes are alike. The adult's crown, nape, and auricular area are blackish brown with whitish buff streaks. It has a white supercilium, throat, and foreneck. Its back, rump, wings, and tail are bright cinnamon-rufous to rufous-chestnut. The tips of its outermost primaries are dark brown. Voice: The long-billed woodcreeper sings during the day, but infrequently. Its song is a "oud and far-carrying...series of 3-4 eerie and plaintive whistles, e.e. 't w o o o o o ó o o...t w o o o o o ó o o'." It is also described as "loud melancholy-sounding, drawn-out calls 'wuuuueet' " repeated three or four times.
