Temminck's Babbler

Pellorneum pyrrogenys

Small, rather drab babbler of lowland and foothill forests. Can be difficult to see in the shadowy forest floor and dense undergrowth it often forages in; listen for its song, a repetitive series of descending notes: “wi’DEW, wi’DEW!” Calls include a nasal, rising trill. If seen, note the overall warm brown body, white throat, and dark crown. Face color varies, ranging from gray to cinnamon-brown.

White-rumped Babbler

White-rumped Babbler

Turdoides leucopygia

A dark brown babbler with a bright white rump. The pattern on the head and breast varies widely across this species' range; birds can have a completely white head, a white face mask with a dark rim, or a black throat and white cheek patch. The extent of the pale scaly markings on the breast also varies. Found in moist woodland, forest edge, and scrub, almost always in groups of up to ten individuals. Easily separated from other babblers in its range by the white rump. The call is a raucous babbling, usually given by a whole group in chorus.

Short-tailed Pygmy-Tyrant

Short-tailed Pygmy-Tyrant

Myiornis ecaudatus

Tiny stump-tailed flycatcher; one of the smallest birds on earth. Minute size and compact body give it a unique appearance, in some ways looking more like a bumblebee than a bird. Whitish underparts with green back, gray head, and white spectacles. Found in mature and secondary rainforest, especially in areas with tall trees. Usually perches in the rainforest midstory and can be tricky to spot. Its song is a soft pair of short trilled notes “trrr-trrr,” sounding rather insectlike.
