Moluccan Brush Cuckoo
Cacomantis aeruginosus
A fairly large cuckoo with uniformly dark gray upperparts, head, and throat, with deep chestnut below. Juvenile is brown and heavily barred all over. Confined to forested hills in the Moluccas. Distinguished from Brush Cuckoo by its preference for dense habitats, and by the extension of the chestnut color to the chest. Song is also faster than Brush Cuckoo’s. Piping whistles include “wit-wit-wit-wit…” uttered at relatively level pitch, and piping notes, “pip-pip-pip-pip-pip-pipPIPPIPPIPPIPIPIPPIPIPIPIP…”, getting louder and faster by the end.

Curve-billed Tinamou
Nothoprocta curvirostris
A terrestrial, chickenlike bird found only at very high elevations in the Andes. Inhabits grassy areas such as overgrown pastures and paramo;does not venture into dense forest. It has cinnamon underparts and dark brown upperparts that are heavily streaked with white; sometimes exhibits a small crest. Typical, but rarely heard call is a short, high-pitched whistle. Usually shy and hard to see, but occasionally comes out to feed in the open along quiet roads early in the morning.
Copperback Quail-thrush
Cinclosoma clarum
Heavily patterned terrestrial bird of Western Australia and western South Australia. White eyebrow and moustache, with deep chestnut brown back and intricately patterned wing. Female has white belly and gray chest, male white belly, gray flanks, and black chest and throat. Note gray sides rather than warm brown sides of Cinnamon and Nullarbor quail-thrushes. Usually seen walking around in areas of open woodland and shrubland. Call is a long, high-pitched whistled "seeeep."
Tamaulipas Crow
Corvus imparatus
Small glossy crow, common in northeast Mexico. Occurs in towns, villages, rubbish dumps, farmland, and semiopen areas with hedges and taller trees. Social and usually in flocks, at times of hundreds. Most likely to be confused with male Great-tailed Grackle, which has pale eyes and longer and keel-shaped tail (shed in late-summer molt). Chihuahuan Raven much larger, with much heavier bill and different voice. Calls of Tamaulipas Crow are low, froglike croaks.
