Orange-cheeked Honeyeater
Meliphaga chrysogenys
A fairly large honeyeater of upper montane and subalpine forest and shrubbery. Overall olive color, light streaking with paler grayish belly and yellow legs. Distinctive yellow-orange cheek bordered with a thin black line. Often perches out prominently. Somewhat similar to Black-throated Honeyeater, but Orange-cheeked Honeyeater is larger, paler, has a different shape of yellow on the face and lacks the white neck spot. Voice, a loud, double-note “pwidip!” and a descending, squeaky song of whistled notes mixed with a loud “chuitt!”.

Fan-tailed Cuckoo
Cacomantis flabelliformis
A medium-sized cuckoo, with a warm buff colored chest and belly. Bright yellow eyering and heavily barred tail. Take care to identify from Brush Cuckoo (which has a gray eyering), and from Pallid Cuckoo (which is paler and lacks the warm breast tones). Often detected by sound since this species calls frequently with a descending trill. Perches in the midstory on exposed branches, and flushes easily to a nearby perch.
Bare-faced Go-away-bird
Crinifer personatus
Unusual gray turaco with a bushy crest and a mostly white head and breast. Found in moist savanna, woodland, shrubby cultivation, and gardens. Usually in small groups. Loud and vocal. The calls are a single hollow “khweow” and a maniacal series of cackles and whines given by multiple birds in chorus. Similar in shape to White-bellied Go-away-bird and Eastern Plantain-eater, but easily separated by the white collar and lack of white in the wings and tail.
Raso Skylark
Alauda razae
Found only on Raso Island of the Cape Verdes. Overall grayish-brown and moderately streaked including the breast. Note the large and heavy bill. Sometimes erects small crest. Belongs to the same genus as Eurasian Skylark, but is smaller with shorter wings and tail than Eurasian Skylark. Found along dry riverbeds on flat plains. Song is similar to that of Crested Lark. Call a short rattle, "Chureep."
