Gray-hooded Heleia

Heleia pinaiae

A relatively large white-eye confined to Seram. Most conspicuous identification features are the complete gray hood, the white forehead, and the bright white eye-ring. Underparts dirty white, lightly washed with yellow on the base of the undertail. Small groups frequent the canopy of forests in the foothills and particularly in the mountains. Differs from Lemon-bellied and Warbling White-eyes in the lack of a yellow belly or throat. Separated from Seram White-eye by the white forehead. Calls are a combination of often-repeated soft “choy-choy-choy” notes and “tri-tri-tri” calls.

Streak-headed Honeyeater

Pycnopygius stictocephalus

A medium-sized honeyeater of lowland and foothill forest edge and gardens. Upperparts dark brown and lower parts gray-brown. Dark head has thin white streaking on the crown and a distinctive white stripe on the face. Thought to mimic the appearance of the New Guinea Friarbird, but Streak-headed Honeyeater is much smaller. Also similar to the juvenile Brown Oriole, but Streak-headed Honeyeater lacks the streaking on the throated and chest. Varied vocalizations including series of repeated notes or strong, whistled, short phrases.

Gray-breasted Seedsnipe

Gray-breasted Seedsnipe

Thinocorus orbignyianus

Stocky, rather small, quail-like bird of the Andes. Favors open rocky slopes, stony plains, and adjacent bogs. Found in pairs or small groups. Male has hooting song given from low mounds or fence posts and during display flight. Flight is strong and fast; flushes with loud bleating chatters. Similar Least Seedsnipe is smaller, favors sandier and grassier habitats, and often occurs in lowlands. Note plain gray breast of male Gray-breasted unlike the black Y pattern present on Least Seedsnipe.
