Stubble Quail
Coturnix pectoralis
Large, strongly marked quail with pale breast/belly with heavy dark streaks. Note bold pale eyebrow. Male has orange throat contrasting with blackish breast. Typically found in drier grasslands. As a flushed bird descends to land, it often slows down in flight before dropping into cover; look carefully for a pale patch on the leading-edge of the wing as it drops.
Vogelkop Owlet-nightjar
Aegotheles affinis
A mid-sized owlet-nightjar of lower montane forests. Strongly barred back and chest with a brown base, whitish belly and a pale collar. A large, fluffy-headed appearance. Often seen with its head sticking out of a tree cavity. The similar Wallace’s and Mountain Owlet-Nightjars may co-occur but Vogelkop Owlet-Nightjar has only barring on the chest and lacks the small white streaks, or flecks on the back. Vocalizations unknown.
Cambodian Tailorbird
Orthotomus chaktomuk
This small slate-gray tailorbird is restricted to dense floodplain scrub in southeastern Cambodia. Males have a patchy black throat and both sexes have an orange crown that is slightly more extensive in males. Forages low in dense vegetation, often in pairs. As with many other tailorbirds, song is loud, vibrant, and variable; calls are squeaky and nasal.
