Flores Sea Sunbird
Cinnyris teysmanni
Tiny and active sunbird of forest edges and open woodlands, endemic to a string of Flores Sea islands from Tanahjampea east to Kalaotoa and Madu. Male is dark gray-brown above, with an extensive iridescent blue-black throat; if seen well, note a dark coppery belt dividing the iridescent throat from the black belly. Female is olive above, with a bright yellow eyebrow and underparts. In both sexes, note white tail edges that are flared out in flight. Gives a buzzily squeaky “bzeet” call, as well as a strident song with a similar cadence. Formerly grouped with other, closely related species under “Olive-backed Sunbird.”

Jambu Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus jambu
The plum-red face and pink “blush” on the white chest of the cartoonish-looking male are unique. Plainer female and juvenile can be difficult to separate from female Black-naped Fruit Dove; look out for Jambu’s bright white eye-ring and orange bill. Generally uncommon and nomadic; roams widely across lowland and foothill forests, where it seeks out fruiting trees. Forages quietly in the canopy, typically singly or in pairs.
Rufous Casiornis
Casiornis rufus
A large mostly cinnamon flycatcher with a paler breast and belly. Note the black bill with a pinkish base. Inhabits savanna woodland and gallery forests. In nonbreeding season can be found in Chaco woodland and the edge of humid forests. Mostly silent.
White-starred Robin
Pogonocichla stellata
Beautiful little forest robin. There are white “stars” in front of the eye and on the bottom of the throat, which are usually hidden. Most subspecies have a black-and-yellow tail in which the black forms a bold “T”. Found in the understory of moist forest, exclusively montane forest away from South Africa. A shy and inconspicuous bird that is usually detected by voice. Song is a quiet and simple series of whistled notes. Also gives low, raspy calls, and a repeated up-and-down series of piping whistles. Distinctive when seen well.
