ABSTRACT The Ash-colored Cuckoo (Coccycua cinerea) it is considered a hypothetical species for Peru and there are no documented records of its presence within the country. It is considered to be a rare austral migrant to the lowlands of the southwest Peruvian Amazon. It is considered a vagrant in the northern Peruvian Amazon. Here we report four documented records of the species from
