Western Wattled-Honeyeater
Foulehaio procerior
A medium-sized, mostly olive honeyeater with a slightly grayish cast to the throat, underside, and cheek. Note the dark blackish moustachial stripe with small bright yellow wattle, which are diagnostic, and the beady pale eye. Found in most habitats up to 1450 meters of elevation. Similar to Duetting Giant-Honeyeater, but smaller, and more olive than yellow. Gives loud, chiming, melodious whistles and bell-like sounds.

Yellow-throated Honeyeater
Nesoptilotis flavicollis
Medium-large honeyeater with bright yellow throat. Back is olive green, head and breast are gray. Underbody and wings have subtle yellow coloration. Juveniles very similar to adults but are duller and have yellow at the base of the bill. Endemic to Tasmania and some surrounding islands; found in most forest and woodland habitats. Feeds primarily on insects and can often be seen foraging on tree trunks.
New Caledonian Whistler
Pachycephala caledonica
Orangey-yellow and olive whistler with a gray head and contrasting white throat. Female is much plainer, dull olive-brown with paler underparts and whitish throat. Found throughout New Caledonia, preferring native forests but somewhat tolerant of disturbed habitats. Best found through its distinctive relatively low-pitched, snappy up-down clear whistled song.
Gorgeted Wood-Quail
Odontophorus strophium
Scarce quail restricted to cloud forest in the northern half of Colombia’s eastern Andes. Adult has distinctive black and white crescents on the throat, which may be reduced or lacking in young birds. Male has chestnut underparts and white spots on the breast; female has gray underparts. Shy and not often seen, but with luck it may be encountered in small groups that walk on the forest floor. Song is like that of other wood-quails, a long and rollicking series of whistles.
