The song of the masked Yellowthroat (Geothlypis aequinoctialis velata) is very similar to the Willow Warbler, and I was enjoying it every day of my stay here.

When looking for sound recordings I haven’t been able to find one that sounds like this one did, and it is perhaps yet another variation of this species. The recording below resembles European Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) and is different from the one I heard here.

I need to bring a recorder next time!

Many thanks to Andrew Whitehouse & dacol for identifying it.

Altitude: 1036 metres.

It sounds like this:
