Little Flycatcher

Muscicapa epulata

An easily overlooked petite bird of lowland forests that frequents edges, clearings, and even old farms. A typical small, grayish flycatcher with a white throat and belly, a streaky gray chest, black legs, and a mostly dark bill with a pale base. Similar to other African flycatchers, especially Yellow-legged Flycatcher, but note the black legs and streaky chest. Song is a jumble of high-pitched notes and buzzes, and the flight call is a high-pitched “zee.”

Red-faced Woodland-Warbler

Red-faced Woodland-Warbler

Phylloscopus laetus

Small pretty warbler. Green on the upperparts, red on the face and throat, and white on the belly. Found in montane forest, mostly in the mid-story and canopy. Like other woodland-warblers, active and always on the move. The distinctive song consists of higher and lower “spit” notes that are quickly alternated in a sort of very loose trill. Similar to Brown Woodland-Warbler, but paler on the belly, with more red on the face and throat.

Ivory-billed Woodcreeper

Ivory-billed Woodcreeper

Xiphorhynchus flavigaster

Rather large, fairly common woodcreeper of tropical forest in both dry and humid areas. Feeds mainly on larger trunks, often probing into bromeliads and moving methodically. Note the long stout bill, which is mostly pale (but not really ivory colored), and the bold streaking on the head, back, and underparts. Streak-headed Woodcreeper is smaller and more active, with a slender, slightly decurved bill, very different voice.

Gray-headed Cicadabird

Gray-headed Cicadabird

Edolisoma schisticeps

A medium-sized bird of foothill and adjacent lowland forest and edge. Male is uniform slaty gray with a black edge to the wing, black tail tip and a black face. Female is rufous. In some races, the female has a gray crown and others have faint barring on the underparts. Similar to male Common and Papuan Cicadabirds, but male Gray-headed has more gray in the wing. Also similar to female Black Cicadabird, but female Gray-headed Cicadabird has black in the wing and lacks the pale brow. Various upwards and downwards nasal whistles plus an excited chattering.
