Chuuk Flycatcher
Myiagra oceanica
Sadly, despite the name, not an ocean-going flycatcher; instead, this is a species of forest and forest edge habitats on Micronesia’s Chuuk Islands. Combination of bluish-gray head, pale orange throat and breast, brown-tinged wings, and slightly peaked head is unique on the islands. “Flycatches” from a perch, often close to the ground. Gives a variety of vocalizations, including a series of cheerful rising whistles, a repetitive squeaky series, a descending chatter, and hoarse meows.

Moluccan Brush Cuckoo
Cacomantis aeruginosus
A fairly large cuckoo with uniformly dark gray upperparts, head, and throat, with deep chestnut below. Juvenile is brown and heavily barred all over. Confined to forested hills in the Moluccas. Distinguished from Brush Cuckoo by its preference for dense habitats, and by the extension of the chestnut color to the chest. Song is also faster than Brush Cuckoo’s. Piping whistles include “wit-wit-wit-wit…” uttered at relatively level pitch, and piping notes, “pip-pip-pip-pip-pip-pipPIPPIPPIPPIPIPIPPIPIPIPIP…”, getting louder and faster by the end.
Madeira Firecrest
Regulus madeirensis
Tiny Madeira endemic, essentially identical to Common Firecrest. Smaller than a warbler, with a distinctive combination of boldly striped head, white wingbars, and bronzy-golden patch on each side of the neck. Male has a fiery orange crown stripe, while the female has a yellow one. Juvenile lacks the adults’ striking head pattern and has a faint dark eyeline and wingbars. Resides in laurel and tree-heath forests, as well as mixed forest. Inconspicuous but active, often high in the canopy, giving high-pitched lisping vocalizations.
Dark-billed Cuckoo
Coccyzus melacoryphus
Brownish above and buff bellow with a black bill, black bandit mask, and gray crown. The eyering is yellowish and the eyes dark. The tail is long and black with large white spots when seen from below. Found in woodlands, second growth, forest edges, plantations, riparian forests, and mangroves. The voice is a low, deep and descending “cowl-cowl-cowl.”
