Caption: Herpsilochmus gentryi is the first bird discovered by José 'Pepe' Alvarez and his colleague Bret Whitney, an ornithologist and research associate at Louisiana State University. They named it after Alwyn H. Gentry, one of the namesakes of the Parker/Gentry Award, of which Alvarez is the recipient for 2006. This ancient antwren is four inches long, yellowish with black spots, and restricted to an area between Peru and Ecuador.
