Unknown #2	Unknown #3	Unknown #4 $Obviously a dark bird, little distinction w.r.t. markings (though it was quite underexposed).\n\nTail longer than typical wren, slightly decurved bill.\n\nIt sang a long, monotonous 2-3 repeated note trill directly above us, not too nervous (as a wren might be).\n\nI would think one of the antbirds (Dusky Antbird?) if not for the bill.$	Unknown #4 $Obviously a dark bird, little distinction w.r.t. markings (though it was quite underexposed).\n\nTail longer than typical wren, slightly decurved bill.\n\nIt sang a long, monotonous 2-3 repeated note trill directly above us, not too nervous (as a wren might be).\n\nI would think one of the antbirds (Dusky Antbird?) if not for the bill.$
