Belford's Melidectes

Gray, white, and yellow flycatcher with a bandit mask. It breeds during the rainy season in deciduous forest and scrub; some birds then disperse into more humid regions for the rest of the year. Probably not present year-round at the northern limits of its range. Compared with the more common and widespread Tropical Kingbird, it has a white throat and breast with no olive tones, and a more conspicuous black mask. A yellow crown patch may be exposed when the bird is excited.

Small streaked antbird. Black-and-white streaked head and underparts with a bold black eyeline and crown, brown wings and tail, and orange-red wash on the sides. Found in dense understory around forest edges and secondary growth; where it overlaps with Yellow-breasted Warbling-Antbird, largely restricted to the understory of mature rainforest, especially around tree fall gaps and along streams and ravines in upland areas. Compared to the similar Yellow-breasted Warbling-Antbird, usually has orange-red wash restricted to its sides (Yellow-breasted can be orangey but usually has extensive color on the throat and breast), and is found in mature forest habitats (not bamboo or riverside secondary growth). Song an accelerating, descending series of whistles that get rougher in tone, very similar to that of Yellow-breasted Warbling-Antbird.

Small frogmouth with piercing yellow eyes. Found in lowland and lower foothill forest, plantations, and forest edge. Both sexes are variable, but males average more strongly-patterned while females are more often rufous. White patterning on the underparts and wings varies between discrete “scales” and blotchy patches. Similar Blyth’s Frogmouth has less extensive white in its plumage, whereas Bornean and Sumatran frogmouths (both of which favor higher elevations than Sunda) are shorter-tailed; in addition, the latter has much more white on the underparts. Gives a harsh, grating caw, as well as clear whistles and a brief rolling series of harsh notes.
