Black-capped Speirops
Zosterops lugubris
A bulky, gray-olive white-eye with a dark crown, a pinkish-brown bill, a broad white eye-ring, and a white line from shoulders to flanks. Small to large groups join mixed flocks in forest and plantation throughout São Tomé, but it prefers highland forest above 900 meters. Its loud, rolling musical song is one of the dominant sounds on the island, but it also gives a demure chittering. Black-capped Speirops may join the same flocks as Sao Tome White-eye, which is slightly smaller and duller, without the distinctive dark cap.

Dayak Blue Flycatcher
Cyornis montanus
A medium-sized flycatcher with strikingly different male and female plumages. Male is beautifully colored, with deep blue upperparts, mostly orange underparts, and a white belly. Female is much duller, with a grayish head, gray-brown wings, a rufous tail, and rufous underparts. Scarce and local in the understory of hill forest. Song is jumble of melodious warbling and whistling notes. The calls are loud “chek” or “sit” notes, and are often mixed into the song. Similar to Bornean Blue Flycatcher, but darker, especially on the belly (in both sexes) and back (in the male). Also similar to Sunda Blue Flycatcher, but darker overall and shorter-billed. Dayak Blue Flycatcher is further distinguished by the less extensive black chin patch of the male and the rufous rather than blue tail of the female.
Bay Wren
Cantorchilus nigricapillus
Medium-sized wren; strikingly patterned if seen well. Rufous above with complex black-and-white face markings; clean white throat. Some populations have clean rufous flanks, others barred black-and-white. Black cap and nape give it a hooded appearance. Often stays hidden in tangles and thickets at forest edge or second growth, often near water. Difficult to get a clear look at. Listen for loud, ringing song, often given as a duet.
Slate-colored Grosbeak
Saltator grossus
Stunning grosbeak, entirely slaty gray with striking white throat and thick bright red bill. Female similar but with duller orange bill. Found singly or in pairs, usually at middle levels in forests or edges, often following a mixed-species flock. Listen for the sweet, simple whistled song.
