|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiery Topaz Topaza pyra | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| White-eared Jacamar Galbalcyrhynchus leucotis | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Cerise-crowned Jacamar Galbula chalcocephala | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Brown Nunlet Nonnula brunnea | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Black-headed Parrot Pionites melanocephalus | LC | unknown (2003) | present | A3 |
