Inside the foliage we glimpsed three or four White-breasted mesites. Getting a "clean" photo was impossible. They crawled around in the bushes like rodents. The White-breasted mesite forages on the ground, where it looks for seeds and picks insects from leaves. After all, the picture shows the most characteristic features of the species: the dark, relatively straight beak, the blue field around the eye, the yellow, framed eyebrow line, the brown crown and the crescent-shaped markings on the chest.
