The hindwings are paler yellow. The larvae feed on lichens. They are mouse-coloured with black hairs.

Regardless of the correct scientific name, the English names mouse-coloured tapaculo and Serra do Mar tapaculo have both been used for the relatively dark species of the Serra do Mar region, but neither is perfect: Most tapaculos of the genus Scytalopus are largely mouse-grey in colour, and what was included in the mouse-coloured tapaculo until 2005 is very different from what would be included in the mouse-coloured tapaculo today.Krabbe, N. K.; Schulenberg, T. S. (2003). Rhinocryptidae (Tapaculos). Pp. 748-787 in: del Hoyo, J.; Elliott, A.; Christie, D., eds. (2003).

Juvenile The grey sunbird or mouse-coloured sunbird (Cyanomitra verreauxii) is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is found in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Somalia, South Africa, Swaziland, and Tanzania.

Regardless of the correct scientific name, three different English names have been used for the relatively pale species of the central and southern Espinhaço Mountains: Mouse-coloured tapaculo (used briefly by Comitê Brasileiro de Registros Ornitológicos, but not anymore), Espinhaço tapaculo and rock tapaculo. The name mouse-coloured tapaculo is likely to cause confusion, as it, until 2006, always had been used for other populations, and most, if not all, Scytalopus tapaculos are largely mouse-grey in colour.Krabbe, N. K.; Schulenberg, T. S. (2003). Rhinocryptidae (Tapaculos).

Most of its range is in the Serra do Mar, but it also occurs further inland in Paraná and Santa Catarina. Until 2005, the Planalto tapaculo was included in the mouse-coloured tapaculo.Maurício, Giovanni Nachtigall (2005).

Agriophara murinella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Australia. Adults are mouse coloured, with the wings elongate and slightly rounded at the tips.

The upperparts are mainly dark grey, the underparts are paler grey. The flanks are buff with dark bars. Adult males of the mouse-coloured tapaculo are uniformly dark grey with no flank barring. The song contains a long series of notes uttered at a rate of two or three per second.

Additionally, the relatively pale species of the central and southern Espinhaço Mountains has been called the mouse-coloured tapaculo (used briefly by Comitê Brasileiro de Registros Ornitológicos, but not anymore), which could add additional confusion.

The species was first observed in the early 1990s, when it was misidentified as part of the Scytalopus speluncae species, or the mouse-coloured tapaculos. A neighboring yet geographically isolated population was found in 1999. In 2014, researchers from the Universidade Federal de Pelotas recognized S. gonzagai as a unique species.

The Planalto tapaculo (Scytalopus pachecoi) is a small passerine bird belonging to the genus Scytalopus, a genus of tapaculos. It was previously included in the mouse-coloured tapaculo (S. speluncae) but was described as a new species in 2005 based on differences in plumage and vocalizations. It is about 12 cm long and weighs around 15 grams.

Antaeotricha murinella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil. Adults are mouse coloured, the forewings with a whitish oblique apical space extending from four-fifths of the length of the costa nearly to the hind end of the exterior border, and containing some cinereous points.

Greater white- fronted geese are in length, have a wingspan and weigh . They have bright orange legs and mouse-coloured upper wing-coverts. They are smaller than greylag geese. As well as being larger than the lesser white-fronted goose, the greater white-fronted goose lacks the yellow eye-ring of that species, and the white facial blaze does not extend upwards so far as in lesser.

This compares to five notes per second in the faster song of the mouse-coloured tapaculo. The Planalto tapaculo has a distinctive, monosyllabic contact call and a loud alarm call. It is known from southern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina) and north-east Argentina (Misiones Province). It inhabits forest and forest edge where it is often found near streams and in undergrowth such as bamboo thickets.

The mouse-coloured tapaculo or Serra do Mar tapaculo (Scytalopus speluncae) is a species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is endemic to humid highland forests in southeastern Brazil, where it ranges from southwestern Espírito Santo to northeastern Rio Grande do Sul.Whitney, B.M.; Vasconcelos, M.F.; Silveira, L.F.; Pacheco, J.F. (2010). Scytalopus petrophilus (Rock Tapaculo): a new species from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 18 (2): 73-88.

Their mane was full, with broad hooves, and curly hair. However, it is possible that these were feral and not wild horses. European wild horse coat colors Herodotus described lightly-coloured wild horses in an area now part of Ukraine in the 5th century BCE. In the 12th century, Albertus Magnus states that mouse-coloured wild horses with a dark eel stripe lived in the German territory, and in Denmark, large herds were hunted.

The Cape penduline tit or southern penduline tit (Anthoscopus minutus) is a species of bird in the family Remizidae. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are dry savannah, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. At in length, it is one of the smallest species of bird found in Africa, along with its cousins the grey penduline tit and the mouse-coloured penduline tit.

England managed a draw, but Scotland was the only one of the Home unions to gain a victory.Allen (2007), pg 182 During this tour the nickname Springboks was first used. There is often confusion as to the springbok symbol being worn before the name was invented, but this may be down to the fact the tour manager, J.C. Carden, spoke of having no 'uniforms or blazers' with the icon, though he did not appear to mean the jerseys. It was reported in the Daily Mail on 20 September 1906, seven days before the first match, that 'The team's colours will be myrtle green with gold collar... and will have embroidered in mouse-coloured silk on the left breast a Springbok'.

In 2006, doubt about the use of the scientific name S. speluncae for the mouse-coloured tapaculo surfaced. An examination of the type specimen of S. speluncae (Ménétriés, 1835) resulted in the conclusion that this name belonged to a relatively pale population from the Espinhaço Mountains that had been included within S. novacapitalis (vocally, this population is closer to S. pachecoi). This meant that the relatively dark population of the Serra do Mar region – the population that traditionally had been called S. speluncae – had to receive a new name: S. notorius ("notorius" to illustrate its problematic taxonomic history). This conclusion was questioned in 2007, which maintained that the population of the Serra do Mar region is S. speluncae, while the population of the central and southern Espinhaço Mountains was considered undescribed, and the population of the northernmost Espinhaço Mountains was described as a new species, S. diamantinensis.Bornschein, M. R.; Maurício, G. N.; Belmonte-Lopes, R.; Mata, H.; Bonatto, S. L. (2007).

The lesser white-fronted goose winters further south in Europe and is a rare winter vagrant to Great Britain, and India. Individual birds formerly appeared regularly at WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, England, where they inspired Sir Peter Scott to set up The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust—modern records, however, are far less frequent, a consequence of the species' decline on its European breeding grounds. An attractive species, it is also widely kept in wildfowl collections and, as a result, escapes do occur; individuals seen in summer, or in the company of other feral geese, are likely to be of captive origin. The two white-fronted goose species differ little other than in size (the lesser, at length and with a wingspan, is not much bigger than a mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) but both may be readily distinguished from the greylag goose by their bright orange legs and their mouse-coloured upper wing-coverts.
