Sao Paulo Bristle-Tyrant
Pogonotriccus paulista
Tiny flycatcher with a slender tail not usually held cocked. Olive above and on the breast with a yellow throat and belly. The face is pale yellow with a broad dark crescent behind the eye and a yellow eyebrow. Found in the lower and middle levels of lowland humid forests and borders, where it forages very actively, usually in association with mixed-species flocks. Normally found at lower elevations than Oustalet's Tyrannulet. The song is a series of high-pitched frenetic whistles.

Comoro Blue-Pigeon
Alectroenas sganzini
Medium-sized chunky pigeon that is dark blue with a pale gray hood. Appears short-tailed in flight. Found in rainforest, secondary habitat, and plantations, and locally in dry coastal scrub. Most common at higher elevations in most of its range. Most often seen perched up conspicuously on emergent trees, feeding on fruiting trees, or in flight in small flocks. The common vocalization is a quick series of low hoots or growls. Dark blue coloration and pale head separate it from all other pigeons in its range.
Javan Kingfisher
Halcyon cyanoventris
Large kingfisher with a massive lipstick-red bill. Note dark head, dark chestnut throat and chest, purplish body, electric blue wings, and large black shoulder patch. Bright white wing patches revealed in flight. Uses a variety of both wet and dry lowland and foothill habitats, including ponds, mangroves, agricultural fields, open forest, and scrub. Can be close to human habitation. Gives high piping screams, often in series.
Buff-breasted Tody-Tyrant
Hemitriccus mirandae
Unobtrusive, drab little brownish flycatcher. Olive-backed, pale below, with the head looking disproportionately large compared to the rest of the body. Note the buff lores and eye-ring. Inhabits remnant humid forest patches at higher elevations. Sings a sharp series of “kit-kit-kit-kiit-kiit-kiiit-kit” notes.
