New Britain Friarbird
Philemon cockerelli
A large brown honeyeater with a long dagger-like bill, a dark head, a contrastingly pale neck and underparts, and a dark area of naked facial skin. Juvenile shows a yellow-washed breast and olive-washed wings and tail. Found singly and in small groups in canopy of habitats from lowlands to foothills, including forest, edges, clearings, and plantations. Restricted to the Bismarck Archipelago. Distinguished from Bismarck Honeyeater by lack of pale eye-ring, pale underparts and neck, and dark facial skin. Calls include a fluty, oriole-like “chewik-chow” with a lower-pitched second note, a sharp “chow,, and a crow-like “kra.”

Greenish Schiffornis
Schiffornis virescens
Medium-sized olive green bird with a small head, massive eyes, and a short stocky bill. Olive-green apart from brownish wings and tail. Very secretive; found in the understory and middle levels of humid forests and second growth. The song is a loud double whistle.
White-naped Pigeon
Columba albinucha
A dark maroon-gray pigeon with a hind-crown and nape that are white in the male and gray in the female. At close quarters the bill can be seen to have a black base with a red-yellow tip, and the legs are reddish-purple. In flight the tail has pale-tipped corners. A scarce and localized resident found in pairs in the canopy of lowland and sub-montane forest in isolated populations in the Albertine Rift and Cameroon. Vocalizations are poorly documented, but reputed to be similar to those of Rameron Pigeon, which is larger than White-naped with a yellow eye-ring, bill, and feet, white speckling on the wings, and no white on the head.
Great Spotted Cuckoo
Clamator glandarius
Distinctive, boldly patterned cuckoo with a spiffy crest and white-spotted wings. Adult has a gray crest and gray-brown back. Juveniles are even more contrasting, with a rusty wing panel and black crest and back. Typically restless, making short flights often and hopping on the ground with tail raised. A nest parasite of corvids (crows, jays, and relatives). Found in semiarid open woodland and dry savannas. Noisy, often giving "krree krree krree" calls.
