Chinese Vivid Niltava

Small flycatcher, extremely similar to several other species. Generally shy and inconspicuous; breeds in spruce forests often near boggy areas. Migrants tend to be found in denser wet areas within woods. Olive-greenish above with distinctive yellow wash on throat and belly. Black wings with bold white wingbars. Nearly identical to Western Flycatchers, but limited range overlap. Within range, main confusion species is Least Flycatcher. Bright yellow throat and belly is usually enough to identify Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, but some worn birds can be very similar. Song is similar to Least Flycatcher ("chebek") but more slurred, with a soft buzzy tone. Not frequently repeated like Least Flycatcher. Soft whistled call note, "pwee," unlike Least's sharp "whit" call.

Easily-identified cotinga; the only large red other than macaws likely to be seen in rainforest canopy. Male is mostly shining red. Female is browner but told by size and shape; also note large bill. Rare and local in canopy of humid lowland forest; seems to be somewhat nomadic. Usually seen perched high in bare branches. Feeds on fruit that it plucks in short sallies, like a giant manakin. Call is a short, gruff bark, somewhat like call of Pompadour Cotinga but much deeper; easily overlooked.

A dark pigeon that is endemic to the Abyssinian highlands. There is a white mark on the back of the head, and white patches in the wings that are conspicuous in flight. Found at middle and high elevations. Nests in rocky areas as well as in towns and cities, and feeds mainly in grassland and cultivated areas. Can be similar to the highly variable feral Rock Pigeon, but distinguished by the white mark on the head. Not very vocal, but does sometimes give a low cooing call.
