The Black-capped Screech Owl was historically lumped with these other

the Variable Screech-Owl.
There are 3 color morphs: red, gray, and dark.

It is possible that Glaucidium
brasilianum ucayalae is a distinct species. It is very
white below like the nominate but has fewer white head streaks.
More study is needed of the Glaucidium
brasilianum complex.

treatment of the Chaco Pygmy Owl as a species separate from the Ferruginous
Pygmy Owl.
Three morphs of the Chaco Pygmy Owl are known: gray, brown, and red.
The brown morph, in the photo below, is an earth-brown coloration. .

Amazonian Pygmy Owl (*) ______ AF:oct MT:aug,oct
Glaucidium hardyi (monotypic)
The Amazonian Pygmy Owl occurs only in the extensive Amazon basin in Brazil
and adjacent counties.
Voice and DNA data has shown that there is a close relationship between the
Amazonian Pygmy Owl and the Yungas Pygmy Owl, of the
southern east slope of the Andes, and the more-northerly Andean Pygmy Owl,
rather than with the Glaucidium minutissimum
complex, that is the two species
below, the Sick's and Pernambuco Pygmy Owls, formerly the "Least Pygmy
Owl".
The Amazonian Pygmy Owl gives a melodious call, consisting of from 10 to 30
fluted notes in rapid succession, with some 10 to 13 notes per second. Each
phrase lasts from 2.5 to 3 seconds, and is repeated at variable
intervals.
The sound is a relatively loud and ringing trill that is unlike the soft
trills given by Sick's and Pernambuco Pygmy Owls.
The Amazonian Pygmy Owl often calls during the
day.
Sick's Pygmy Owl (BRqe) ______
Glaucidium sicki
The Sick's Pygmy Owl was part of what was the "Least Pygmy Owl",
that was Glaucidium minutissimum. It has now been separated and renamed, but
there is still uncertainty about this species and the following, the
Pernambuco Pygmy Owl. Research may lead to further nomenclature and taxonomic
change. Even though locally not rare, Glaucidium sicki is very little studied.
The Sick's Pygmy Owl occurs from eastern Brazil to eastern Paraguay, and
possibly northeastern Argentina. It occupies primary evergreen rainforest and
forest edges from sea level to 1100 meters.
The Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, Glaucidium
brasilianum, overlaps with both the
Sick's Pygmy Owl and the Pernambuco Pygmy Owl, but the Ferruginous Pygmy Owl
is larger and with streaks on the crown rather than spots.
The Sick's Pygmy Owl gives a hollow and slightly drawn-out call. the first
note lasts 0.25 seconds, the second o.2 seconds, with a 0.35 second pause
between the notes. It calls just before dawn, and less often after
dusk.
Pernambuco Pygmy Owl (t2) (BRe) ______
Glaucidium minutissimum
The Pernambuco Pygmy Owl occurs only in state of Pernambuco in northeastern
Brazil. The entire known population lives in a protected forest reserve.

The little-known Buff-fronted Owl inhabits
mountain forests and cloud forests, dry forests, and stinted alpine forests.
It does occur at some lower altitudes, but two subspecies in western South
America are in high in the Andes between 1700 meters & 3900 meters above
sea level.
The secretive Buff-fronted Owl is the only Aegolius
owl in South America.
The Buff-fronted Owl utters very rapid whistled trills, with a
quivering character, with 15 notes per second and lasting 7 to 10
seconds.
