Jackson's Spurfowl
Pternistis jacksoni
Large, chunky brown francolin with a red bill, red legs, and bare red skin around the eye. Found in montane forest, forest edge, moorland, and grassland. Often in pairs or small groups that are often quite approachable. The common vocalization is a series of loud, rough “skraa” notes. Similar to Scaly Francolin, but larger and richer brown, with red bare skin around the eye.
分类信息
Jackson's francolin was described in 1891 by the Scottish ornithologist William Robert Ogilvie-Grant from specimens collected by Frederick John Jackson in Kikuyu, Kenya. Ogilvie-Grant honoured Jackson and coined the binomial name Francolinus jacksoni. The species is now placed in the genus Pternistis that was introduced by the German naturalist Johann Georg Wagler in 1832. Jackson's spurfowl is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.

Rufous-bellied Thrush
Turdus rufiventris
Large thrush found commonly in open woodlands, savannas, agricultural areas, urban parks, gardens where it spends a lot of time foraging on the ground. It has an olive-brown back and breast with an orange belly and a paler streaked throat. Note the yellow eyering. The song, which varies among regions, is usually long and quite monotonous.
Black-and-rufous Warbling Finch
Poospiza nigrorufa
Medium-sized finch. Gray above with cinnamon underparts, a white center to the belly, and a white-tipped tail. Note the long white eyebrow that becomes cinnamon behind the eye and the white moustache stripe. Favors shrubby areas and open woodland near water, but also frequents gardens. Sings a series of three notes: “tweet tweet-chew,” or “Who dressed you?”

Emberiza personata
A small migratory songbird breeding in low to mid-elevation, moist mixed forest and wintering in woodland and scrub, preferring thick undergrowth, especially dwarf bamboo. Brown, streaked upperparts, grayish head and pale yellow underparts with fine, dark streaking. Male has deeper coloration, stronger streaks, black face and chin. Similar to Yellow Bunting but has more streaking on underparts. Very skulking but presence often betrayed in winter by a high-pitch “chip!”.
