Scaled Antpitta

A large, common, honeyeater of montane forests on the Huon Peninsular. Blackish with a paler throat and long tail. Chest and belly covered in white spots in a half-moon shape. Large irregular-shaped, bare, yellow facial skin that can flush to red. Somewhat sociable, being found in small to large groups. Huon Melidectes is a similar size but has a very different face. Calls, squeals and parrotlike squawks.

A large and relatively colorful member of the pipit family with a black necklace, a yellow-orange throat, a yellow breast, and whitish sides with long streaks. The white corners of the dark tail are conspicuous during its weak, fluttering flight. Found in grassland with some bushes and trees. Similar to Yellow-throated Longclaw, though there is only minor overlap in range; orange-throated birds are easily identified, but some individuals have a yellow throat, and these can be separated by their paler and much more heavily streaked flanks. Brownish immatures can be confused with pipits, but are larger and more robust. Not very vocal, but gives a high-pitched whistle and a simple song of doubled phrases. 

Small nuthatch of coniferous forests in western North America. Note dark grayish-brown cap and buffy underparts with grayish sides. Very similar plumage to Brown-headed Nuthatch, but no range overlap. Usually occurs in small flocks high in the crowns of pine trees, often mixed with other songbirds. Listen for cute pips and squeaks.
