White-winged Grosbeak

A large flycatcher, mostly found in wooded areas, where it hunts from middle to upper level perches. It is grayish above and whitish below, and usually has a blackish crown and face. Most populations of this species have grayish tail band. Resembles Eastern Kingbird, but Eastern has a bolder white tail band and smaller bill than Loggerhead. The similar Gray Kingbird has a paler head with a dusky mask and a notched tail, whereas the tail is usually squared-off in Loggerhead. Giant Kingbird has a heftier bill and lacks whitish tail band present on Loggerhead. Calls include various trills and chatters.

Small, energetic, sharp-billed warbler. Always shows strong striping on the underparts. Madagascar endemic that is found in rainforest, spiny forest, and scrub, and only very locally in dry deciduous forest. Often joins flocks with other small bird species. Song in the east is a long, sweet, up-and-down trill. Song in the west is a complicated series of high notes and lower trills. Larger and bigger-billed than other jeries, with dark legs and strong striping below. Smaller than Rand’s Warbler, with a greener back, a weaker eye-stripe, and streaking below. 

A large forest coucal with a black throat and chest and a white belly. Western populations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and extreme western Uganda are sometimes separated as Neumann’s Coucal based on their smaller size, but look very similar to eastern Black-throated Coucal populations. The similar Gabon Coucal, which has a rufous belly, replaces Black-throated in Central African forests. Black-throated typically gives a deep, bubbling, booming call series of up to 20 notes that fall and then rise in pitch. This call can be heard day or night.
