Tawny-breasted Honeyeater

Brown and gray thrush with an orange belly, pale throat, and bright orange bill, eyering, legs, and feet. Inhabits forested habitats across Christmas Island, where it can sometimes be found quite close to human habitation; the only resident thrush on the island, and unmistakable. Often encountered foraging actively on the ground. Song is a variable series of doubled notes; calls include an explosive chattering series of rapid chup notes.

Medium-sized robin with orange underparts and an olive-brown back. The tail is uniformly rufous, lacking the dark center of a typical robin-chat. There is some geographical variation, with the western birds showing a black cap and the eastern birds a gray one. Found in the undergrowth of various forest types at low and middle elevations. Shy and retiring. The song is a highly variable mix of notes which usually includes imitations of other bird species. Similar to akalats, but separated by its white eyebrow.

A plump ball on sticks. Fairly common and easily heard, but shy and rarely seen in the open. Striking plumage: bold buffy eyering, gray crown, black mustache stripe, thick black and white streaking on underparts, and buffy spots on wings. Singles or pairs are found on or near the ground in mature lowland forest from Honduras to Ecuador. Occasionally perches higher when singing. Listen for its song, a short series of plaintive whistled notes.
