Sunda Thrush

Ashy gray flycatcher with a strong white eyebrow that perches upright on the ground. Found in high-elevation grasslands and pastures. Larger size and more upright posture give it a taller appearance than the similar Cinereous Ground-Tyrant; the long white eyebrow that extends to or past the eye is also a good distinguishing feature (it is much shorter or absent in Cinereous). Does not have a crown patch as many other ground-tyrants do.

Small, inconspicuous dove of savannas and open grassland with scattered low bushes and palmettos; also found locally in cane fields and pastures. Usually found in pairs or small groups, sometimes associating with other ground doves. Both sexes are rather plain overall, with diagnostic purple marks on the back, although the color is often hard to see. The female can be easily confused with the much commoner Ruddy Ground Dove, which also has a plain breast, but the Ruddy Ground Dove is larger and warmer brown overall; also note vocal differences.

A small songbird with a modestly long tail and pale bill. Slate-gray above, pale below, with black mask and chin, rich rufous-orange throat and upper breast, and white tail corners. Inhabits and forest edge, where itorages actively, sometimes hovering. Song varies across range, from rising mellow whistles in the Lesser Sundas to raspier whistled notes in Australia. Calls also vary, but are generally harsh and unpleasant-sounding buzzes and rattles.
