Gray-hooded Attila

Mostly dull brown with slightly brighter olive wings and a grayish head. A pale buffy-white line runs below the eye to the base of the bill, which is dark and slightly decurved. Found in all habitats. Unlike any other honeyeaters in its range. Voice is most commonly a loud “tchoo-tchoo-tchoo” and a mixed warbling.

Distinctive spinetail with a yellow chin and dark brown patches on otherwise cinnamon wings. Has a well-marked white eyebrow and white underparts streaked gray. Occurs in marshes with tall emergent reedy vegetation. The song starts with a trill, followed by a series of harsh notes: “d-d-d-r-r-i-i-, dirip, dirip, dirip, drip-drip-dreeuw-dreeuw.” 

A large dark pigeon of forests with a proclivity for perching high in trees while still not in clear view. Found throughout a variety of forested habitats at most elevations, generally most common in intact primary lowland and montane forest, but can be seen along a variety of forest edge and secondary forest types. Dark-slate gray body differs from the Plain Pigeon, which is distinctly paler, and it lacks the white crown of White-crowned Pigeon. It is somewhat skittish in most areas, perhaps due to hunting and is often first detected by a loud flapping of wings as it takes flight or by its low-pitched “wooo hooo” and “wudu-hoo hoooooo” songs. ​
