Dohrn's Thrush-Babbler

Large, terrestrial songbird with long, strong legs and fairly long, thin bill. Male black above, white below, with white wing patch, white face patch, white eye, black bib, black eyeline; female has white throat and immature a dark eye. Inhabits parks, gardens, and urban areas. Aggressive and noisy, often attacking its own reflection in car mirrors and windows. Much smaller than Australian Magpie, with a smaller pale bill.

A medium-sized, pale francolin with large patches of red bare skin around the eyes. Heavily marked with black and pale buff on the back, neck, and underparts. Found locally in a variety of savanna habitats and adjacent agricultural areas, often in pairs or small groups. Separated from most other francolins by the red facial skin. Similar to Harwood’s Francolin, but much paler overall, with a mostly black rather than red bill. The call is a rough “kreeya” that is repeated several times.

A small, rare nuthatchlike bird of upper montane forest canopy. Uniform blackish plumage with pink under the end of the tail, a red face, yellow legs and a white band in the wing, visible in flight. Female has a white iris. Moves in flocks. Similar shape and habits to Papuan Sittella, but Black lives at higher elevations with little overlap. Only the juvenile coloration could be confused, but Papuan Sitella has a paler belly. Voice, a high-pitch twittering.
