Rufous-naped Tit

Medium-sized, active flycatcher of forest canopy; often observed on the periphery of mixed-species flocks. When seen well, note entirely yellow underparts, including throat. Found in a variety of lowland forest types, including tall rainforest and low-stature forests on sandy soils. Forages actively, almost always in small groups; often sits on top of large leaf clusters on outer branches. Similar to several other kiskadee-like flycatchers, but behavior and voice are quite different. Quite vocal; often-heard call is a distinctive hollow rattle with a purring quality.

A small brown-black swallow with a short tail and comparatively weak flight. The forehead, crown, and back of the neck are dull chestnut with faint dark streaks. The back is glossy deep blue with a few narrow whitish streaks; the rump is pale brown and is more prominent in flight. The wings and tail are blackish-brown, and the tail almost square-ended. Underparts are buffy white with blackish-brown streaks, especially the chin, throat, and upper breast. Juvenile is duller and browner than adult, with buff feather edges and faint streaks on underparts. Found mostly as individuals in mixed swallow flocks; different, weaker flight action is characteristic. 

Dainty minivet of dry forests, scrubland, and cultivation edge in Myanmar’s central Irrawaddy plains. Male is black and white, with an orange patch on the chest. Female is paler, replacing much of the male’s black with soft gray-brown. Both sexes have a broad white eyebrow, large white wing patches, and a white rump with a pale orangish patch in the center. Often moves in pairs and small flocks. Song is a high, sweet burst of warbling twitters. Calls include sharp “djeep” and a buzzier descending whistle.
