Little Paradise-Kingfisher
Tanysiptera hydrocharis
A little-known, long-tailed kingfisher of riverine forests. White underparts and rump, black mask, deep blue wing, pale blue cap, red bill and long tail. Very similar to Common Paradise-Kingfisher, but Little Paradise-Kingfisher is smaller, with a darker crown, blue rather than white outer tail feathers and a slighter bill. The safest way to separate, however is by vocalization. Song, a series of 8 descending notes.

Spot-winged Antshrike
Pygiptila stellaris
Short-tailed antshrike of rainforest canopy. Looks top heavy because of its short tail, chunky build, and heavy bill. Males are slaty gray; females are olive-brown above and tawny below. Both sexes have small white or cream wing spots. Forages higher than most other antshrikes, from the midstory to the canopy, singly or in pairs and frequently with mixed-species flocks. Found mostly in the interior of mature rainforest. Listen for the male’s song, a short trill followed by a whistled “peer.”
Pale White-eye
Zosterops flavilateralis
A small, sharp-billed warbler-like bird. Note the yellow underparts and the narrow white spectacles around the eyes. Found in dry thorn savanna, woodland, and scrub. Usually in hyperactive flocks, and often joins mixed flocks. Very similar to African Yellow White-eye, but shows less yellow above the bill, looks more washed-out overall, and prefers drier habitats. Most common call is a high-pitched rising rattle. Song is a quiet, chatty sequence of “chew” notes.
Large Woodshrike
Tephrodornis virgatus
Nondescript large-billed bird with a bandit’s mask. Very similar to Common Woodshrike, but note heavier bill and lack of white eyebrow. A species of lowland and hill forests. Forages slowly and quietly, often in upper levels of forest and frequently with mixed-species flocks. Song is a rapid monotone series of whistles, the first one or two notes sometimes lower. Also frequently gives a harsh rattling call.
