Moustached Puffbird standing on a branch at Tinamú Birding Nature Reserve in Manizales Caldas, Colombia.

This plump brown bird is found in the Andes in Venezuela and Colombia, from the lower foothills up to 2,100 m. Females are darker than males, with a less prominent white moustache. Not many similar species in range; beware White-whiskered Puffbird, which is typically found at lower elevations and shows yellowish (not grey) lower mandible and more streaking on belly. Typically inconspicuous in the lower to middle levels of wet forest, singles or pairs often sit motionless on a horizontal limb.

ABOUT
DIRK BECKERS

Dirk Beckers is a hobby wildlife & nature photographer living in Antwerp (Belgium). Fujifilm is mostly the gear I prefer but sometimes Nikon has a place in my bag. Aside from some exposure, sharpening, noise reduction and basic colour corrections, I don’t spend much time post-processing my photos. I believe that good photographs are accomplished outdoors, in the field, and not in front of the computer. That’s the essence of my photography. For more about me click here.

BIRD
IDENTIFICATION

Please be aware that I’m not an expert in Ornithology. I’m using the Merlin app from The Cornell Lab for bird identification, but if you think that there are still some mistakes with the names of the birds, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to make the necessary corrections!
