Long-legged Pipit
Anthus pallidiventris
A tall, relatively long-billed, stilt-legged pipit with a noticeable moustache stripe and limited streaking on the chest. Olive-gray overall with a plain back. Found in bare and open areas in west-central Africa; the only pipit likely to be encountered in the lowlands in its range in the summer months. May occur with other pipits, especially in winter, but note the very long legs, the limited streaking on the chest, and the plain back. Song is a variable sequence of musical notes and calls, and birds will also give a “chuwee!”

Jambu Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus jambu
The plum-red face and pink “blush” on the white chest of the cartoonish-looking male are unique. Plainer female and juvenile can be difficult to separate from female Black-naped Fruit Dove; look out for Jambu’s bright white eye-ring and orange bill. Generally uncommon and nomadic; roams widely across lowland and foothill forests, where it seeks out fruiting trees. Forages quietly in the canopy, typically singly or in pairs.
Biak Hooded Pitta
Pitta rosenbergii
Beautiful leaf-green pitta of Biak Island, off northwestern New Guinea. Like the other “Hooded-type” pittas with which it was formerly grouped, this species has a black head, powder-blue shoulder patch, and red on the lower belly and undertail. In addition, this species has a broad deep blue border to the red belly patch, much like the Eastern Hooded Pittas on neighboring Numfor Island. Song is a rather harsh, rolling “weer, weer.”
Chinese Hwamei
Garrulax canorus
A medium-sized thrushlike bird of dense forests and undergrowth. The reddish brown coloration and white spectacles are distinctive. Usually skulks in dense vegetation, but may sing from an exposed perch or forage out in the open during dawn and dusk. Usually observed singly or in pairs. The song is loud, long, and varied, involving mimicry of other birds, whistles, and harsh notes that are often repeated. Introduced to Taiwan, Japan, and the Hawaiian Islands.
