Chestnut-breasted Malkoha

A large pipit-like bird with a golden-yellow throat and eyebrow emphasized by a circular broad black necklace and pumpkin-buff-colored belly and vent. The upperparts are subdued plain gray-brown and the outer tail corners are white, a key feature in flight. Pairs occupy upland grassland, dambos (seasonally flooded wetlands), and grassy savanna, especially close to water. It often perches up singing a strongly whistled “tu-wee-ti-chuuu” and variations thereof. The larger Yellow-throated Longclaw differs from Fülleborn's Longclaw by having a brighter yellow belly and vent, streakier head and neck, and distinct black streaking on the breast below the black necklace.

Plain but subtly attractive medium-sized warbler. Adult is gray with a black head and a white throat. Female has a less contrasting head pattern than the male. Younger birds are browner with a faded-looking version of the adult’s head pattern. Visually very similar to the Western Orphean Warbler, but the black on the head is more cleanly cut off from the gray of the back on Eastern Orphean Warbler. Also note the comparatively cleaner-looking belly on Eastern Orphean. Breeding ranges do not overlap. Breeds in open forests from which it delivers its song in phrases with an almost thrushlike warbling melody. Non-breeding habitats include open scrubby habitats, such as thornscrub and semidesert.

A thick-bodied, long-tailed parrot with entirely red plumage. The head appears slightly brighter than the body. Widespread in most habitats up to around 1200 meters of elevation. Unlikely to be misidentified due to its unique entirely red coloration. Most common call is a high-pitched rising “tsleet!”
