Sharpe's Rosefinch
Carpodacus verreauxii
Uncommon medium-sized rosefinch. Male is dark wine pink above and frosty bubblegum pink below, with strikingly pale white eyebrows. Female is gray-brown with streaked underparts and long pale eyebrows; similar to female Chinese White-browed Rosefinch, but note overall buffier coloration, paler streaking, less prominent stripes on the cheeks, and lack of tan-yellow in the eyebrow and near the vent. Sharpe’s breeds in open alpine areas with scrubby cover such as forest edge; moves downslope in the winter. Call is a sharp inflected “pink.”

分布与栖息地
S China (S & W Sichuan and NE Yunnan) and NE Myanmar; winters at lower altitudes. Found in summer (presumed breeding period) in forest edge, second growth and areas of scrub and bushes in alpine meadows, at 3000–4600 m. At other times occurs in mixed forest, grassy hillsides with bushes and bamboo thickets at lower levels, at 2100–2900 m.

保护状况
Not globally threatened (Least Concern). Very poorly known, but appears to be generally scarce to rare in most of its range. Perhaps uncommon in NE Yunnan. Uncommon in NE Myanmar, where possibly only a non-breeding visitor; fieldwork required in order to ascertain this species' true status in that country. It is not known to be subject to any significant threats.

Blackish Oystercatcher
Haematopus ater
Distinctive large chunky shorebird of rocky coasts, adjacent sandy beaches and river mouths. The only all-dark oystercatcher in South America, readily identified by wholly dark plumage, long orange-red bill, thick pinkish legs. Found as singles and pairs, less often small flocks (mainly when roosting), and associates readily with Magellanic and especially American Oystercatchers. Loud piping whistles sound similar to American Oystercatcher.
Four-banded Sandgrouse
Pterocles quadricinctus
A small, short-tailed, intricately marked sandgrouse. The distinctive male has black marks on top of the head and three bands across the underparts. The female is plainer. Both sexes have a finely barred dark belly. Found in savanna and cultivation. Usually in pairs or small groups. Similar in size and shape to Lichtenstein’s Sandgrouse, but lacks that species’ fine barring on the underparts. Female separated from female Black-faced Sandgrouse by the lack of a strong white mark across the underparts. The call is a rattling, high-pitched “brrr-eeee,” often given in flight.
Lowland Akalat
Sheppardia cyornithopsis
A small shy akalat found in the lower levels of tall forests, often in dark shady areas near water. Note the reddish-brown back and wings, the gray face, and the bright red-orange chest contrasting with a white belly. Almost always found in lowland forest, but a few local populations are found higher up in the foothills. Within its range, most likely to be confused with Forest Robin, but note Lowland Akalat’s plain gray face and distinctive vocalizations. Song is a series of clear, melancholy whistles given with slight pauses in between, “wheeer, gowheer,” as well as faster, more resonant and metallic series of whistles.
