Reiser's Tyrannulet
Phyllomyias reiseri
Small, yellow-green flycatcher. Note the white lores and gray crown. An apparently rare and poorly-known inhabitant of gallery forests and tall savanna dry forests. May accompany mixed-species flocks. The song is a harsh series of notes: “briu-briu-briu-briu-briu-briu-briu.” Separated from the similar Greenish Tyrannulet, with which it commonly co-occurs, by smaller size, grayer crown, and yellow ear-coverts.
Gabela Akalat
Sheppardia gabela
A rather small, demure understory denizen resembling a cross between a robin and a flycatcher. Mostly dull brownish-olive with a rusty rump and a paler throat and belly. Juvenile is more mottled. A local and endangered bird found singly and in pairs in thick undergrowth of primary and secondary forest, thickets, and coffee plantations, resident in a narrow range along the Angolan escarpment between 810 and 1300 meters of elevation. Sits for long periods, sallying to catch insect prey. Calls include a soft series of descending whistles. May be mistaken for a flycatcher, but its furtive nature and preference for thick understory are unique within its range.
Morotai White-eye
Zosterops dehaani
A tiny warbler-like songbird with a pale eye-ring, endemic to Morotai. Note black head, a broad white eye-ring, a pale forehead line, a pale patch between bill and eye, a gray back, and no yellow below. Singles, pairs, or groups inhabit forest, edge, and cultivated areas in lowlands and hills. Gives a high-pitched twittering song, characteristic of white-eyes.
