Malayan Partridge
Arborophila campbelli
Small and reclusive gamebird of the Malay Peninsula’s forested highlands. If seen well, note white cheeks, dark head, and dappled tortoiseshell back and wings. Like other Arborophila partridges, typically forages quietly on the forest floor in pairs or small groups—rarely out in the open, but can be tame at feeding blinds. Listen for its loud song, a repetitive series of rising ringing notes.

Choco Warbler
Myiothlypis chlorophrys
Small warbler found in cloud forest in western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Field marks include bright yellow underparts a well as dark stripes through face and on sides of crown. Orange central crown stripe may not be evident in the field. Similar to Three-striped Warbler, but yellower, has thinner crown stripes, and lacks crescent below eye. Pairs or small groups forage actively in lower to middle levels in the forest, often with mixed species flocks. Song is a rising and accelerating buzzy trill. Formerly called Golden-bellied Warbler.

Found at middle and high elevations. Nests in rocky areas as well as in towns and cities, and feeds mainly in grassland and cultivated areas. Can be similar to the highly variable feral Rock Pigeon, but distinguished by the white mark on the head. Not very vocal, but does sometimes give a low cooing call.
