Cameroon Pigeon
Columba sjostedti
A large dark purple-gray pigeon with distinctive white spots on the breast and back, a blue-gray head, and a bright red-and-yellow bill. Often seen flying over the canopy in transit or during display flights, and sometimes perches conspicuously in the open. Found exclusively in montane forests. Vocalizations are poorly known, but appear to consist of a growl followed by multiple low coos. Overlaps locally with White-naped Pigeon, which has a white head patch and dark spots on a lighter chest, unlike the Cameroon Pigeon’s uniformly gray head and white-spotted dark body.

Namaqua Dove
Oena capensis
Tiny, long-tailed dove that is dark above and pale below. Male has a black mask and colorful bill. Female has a plain head and dark bill. In flight, the wings are bright rufous. Found in a variety of dry, open habitats at low and middle elevations. Voice is a long, two-parted “hoo-oooooo” which is repeated, sometimes endlessly. Distinguished from all other doves in its range by its small size and long-tailed shape.
Pale-bellied Tyrant-Manakin
Neopelma pallescens
A nondescript manakin that is reminiscent of a flycatcher. It is olive-green above and gray below with faint streaks on the breast. Note the large yellow crown. Inhabits woodland and gallery forests with dense vines. The call is a nasal “wraah, wra-wra.”
Chestnut Woodpecker
Celeus elegans
A “classic” Celeus woodpecker, medium-sized and rufous overall with a shaggy crest. Unlike the similar Scale-breasted and Waved Woodpeckers, Chestnut Woodpecker mostly or entirely lacks black markings on the body and wings. Sexes are similar, but males have a red mustache. The color of the crest varies across subspecies: some birds have a contrasting golden crest, while others have a plain rufous crest like the rest of the body. Widespread but uncommon across much of northern South America, where it inhabits the mid-levels of lowland forests and edges, especially around water.
