Buffy tuftedcheek

The buffy tuftedcheek or Lawrence's tuftedcheek (Pseudocolaptes lawrencii) is a passerine bird in the ovenbird family, which breeds in the tropical New World in Costa Rica, western Panama and the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador. It is sometimes considered conspecific with the streaked tuftedcheek, P. boissonneautii, of South America. Birds from Colombia and Ecuador sometimes are considered a separate species, the Pacific tuftedcheek (P. johnsoni).
It occurs as a resident breeder above 1,600 m (5,200 ft) in wet mountain forests with many epiphytes. The female lays one white egg in a thickly lined old woodpecker nest. One parent, probably the female, incubates the single white egg for 29 days to hatching, covering the egg with leaves when she leaves the nest.
The buffy tuftedcheek is typically 20 cm (7.9 in) long, weighs 48 g (1.7 oz), and has a long bright rufous tail. The back is brown, and the wings are blackish with buff wingbars...
