what are the names of the coins in ecuador?


Years ago Ecuador used the "Sucre" names after Mariscal Sucre who helped in the South American indep-endance from Spain. However they now have adopted the US dollar.

Can someone help me identify the species of birds on some world coins?

I have a number of world coins with birds depicted on them. I'm interested in determining the species of the birds.

Here's a list:
1969 Mexico 20 centavos (KM #440)
1981 Bermuda 25 cents (KM # 18)
1994 Trinidad and Tobago 1 cent (KM# 29)
1992 Cayman Islands 1 cent
1970 Ecuador un sucre (KM# 78b)
1944 US Philippines one centavo (KM# 179)
1945 Mexican gold 2 Peso

Any help and species IDs will be appreciated!
Links to images in same order as above are below. Sorry about the quality, I haven't had a chance to photo the coins myself, so these belong to other people. All of the bird depictions are the same as my coins, although some have different obverses.

20 Centavos - The coin has an eagle with a snake in it's mouth. The same eagle design appears on most Mexican coinage.

Bermuda 25 cent - The White-tailed Tropicbird (aka "Longtail") is a national symbol of Bermuda. Like the Robin further north in North America, the Longtail signals the coming of Spring. During the winter, they stay out at sea where they sleep on the water, or apparently while flying along.

Trinidad and Tobago - This is a hummingbird.

Cayman Isands - Great Caiman Thrush, or Grand Cayman Thrush

Ecuador - The third link in my sources shows a colored picture of the seal and it looks like a vulture.

Philippines - Your picture is too small and when I googled it the reverse picture for a one centavo coin looked like the fourth link. Are you sure it's a centavo?

2 Peso - The coin has an eagle with a snake in it's mouth. The same eagle design appears on most Mexican coinage.
