Trilling Shrike-Babbler
Pteruthius aenobarbus
Adorable stout little yellowish bird of Java’s foothill and montane forests. Male is unique, with bright yellow underparts, flashing black-and-white wingbars, dark lores, and a deep rust-red throat. Female is more nondescript but still fairly distinctive, with cinnamon-and-gray wingbars and a light cinnamon tinge on the forehead and front half of the eyebrow. Both sexes have bright silver eye arcs and a dark line extending through the eye. Like other shrike-babblers, forages at middle and upper levels of forest, sometimes with mixed flocks. Song is a loud and repetitive series of high notes; calls are dry and buzzy.

Stuhlmann's Starling
Poeoptera stuhlmanni
Small, slim dark starling. The eyes are brown, and females show large chestnut patches in the wings in flight. Found in the canopy of montane forest, usually in small flocks; often perches out conspicuously on dead snags and other open perches. Vocalizations include simple whistles and squeaky, peevish-sounding notes. Similar to Waller’s Starling, but smaller and slimmer, with brown rather than red eyes, and only females have reddish wing patches.
Short-toed Rock-Thrush
Monticola brevipes
A small, compact rock-thrush with short legs. The male has a gray back and a diagnostic pearly blue-gray crown. Although some individuals (particularly farther east) have darker crowns, they retain the pale eyebrow, always giving the head a two-toned appearance. The female is differentiated from other rock-thrushes by her squat shape and white throat bordered by dark stipples. Pairs and loose groups inhabit rocky country in arid bushlands, where they perch conspicuously on taller bushes, wires, and poles. The male Sentinel Rock-Thrush has a more upright posture than Short-toed Rock-Thrush, with uniform blue-gray head coloration that extends lower on the breast. The male Cape Rock-Thrush is much larger and has a brown back.
Stripe-chested Antwren
Myrmotherula longicauda
Small, streaky antbird of humid forest along the east slope of the Andes; also found in lowlands away from the mountains in a few areas. Male is boldly striped with black and white. Female is black and tan with a similar stripy pattern but has plainer underparts. Inhabits dense vegetation at forest edge or overgrown clearings. Song is an excited series of doubled notes: “hiccup, hiccup, hiccup…”
