Eye-ringed Flatbill - Rhynchocyclus brevirostris	Daniel Lane	29-03-2001	Monteverde, Puntarenas (Costa Rica) (1450 m)	song (A) - Unseen, about 4 m up in dry streambed with second growth. Responding to playback. Not sure what to make of this vocalization: it sounds to me much like Tolmomyias sulphurescens cinereiceps, but this voice seems to agree with recordings for the present species on the Macaulay Library page. Yet, here on X-c, there are no other cuts like it. Could it be that the recordists on the Macaulay site were all misidentifying Tolmomyias?	65695 xeno-canto.org
