Mangrove Whistler
Pachycephala cinerea
Drab small bird with brownish-gray upperparts and white underparts. Resides primarily in mangrove forest, but can also be found in other well-vegetated adjacent habitat types. Overall lack of prominent markings distinguishes it from other mangrove species within its range. Song varies; Indian birds give songs containing long ringing whistles, while Southeast Asian birds give somewhat more complex whistled phrases.
分类信息
Alternate names for the mangrove whistler include the grey thickhead and white-bellied whistler. The latter name should not be confused with the species of the same name, Pachycephala leucogastra. Formerly, both the green-backed and white-vented whistlers were considered to be subspecies of the mangrove whistler.<p>Two subspecies are recognized:

Pelzeln's Tody-Tyrant
Hemitriccus inornatus
Very small flycatcher with an olive-green back; white below with thin gray streaks. Note the whitish wingbars. Patchily distributed in low-stature white sand forests. The song, like the bird, is easily overlooked: a low, short, stuttered trill, “tid-dip, tid, te, de.”
Mongolian Lark
Melanocorypha mongolica
A large, brightly-colored lark of grassy steppe; often found near lakes and wet meadows. Brown overall with cinnamon tinges to the crown and shoulders, a down-curved white eyebrow, and a blotchy black collar that breaks at the throat. Highly distinctive in flight: black-and-white wing pattern is reminiscent of certain lapwings and plovers, and visible from a great distance. Usually seen singly.
Common Woodshrike
Tephrodornis pondicerianus
A medium-sized woodshrike with grayish-brown upperparts, black facial mask, white rump, and gray tail with white outer tail feathers. Bill strongly hooked, dark grayish-brown in color. Underparts white. Similar to Malabar Woodshrike and Large Woodshrike, but generally found in drier forests; also note prominent white supercilium. Usually found in dry forested areas and shrublands. Bright, fast-paced song starts out with two strident “wheeet” notes, followed by a descending series of shorter notes. Calls vary, but usually sound like isolated fragments of song.
