Dusky Tit
Melaniparus funereus
Unusual forest tit that is all dark with a red eye. The male is mostly black, and the female dark gray. Found in humid forest, often around clearings or along the edge. Usually in pairs or small groups, readily joining mixed-species flocks. Gives a wide variety of vocalizations including a raspy up-and-down series, a typical tit “dree di-di-di,” and other whistled and scolding notes. Active tit behavior, small size, and small bill separate this species from other dark forest birds.

Giant Antshrike
Batara cinerea
Huge antshrike with a rather long tail and a strong, heavily hooked bill. Males are barred black and white above and gray below, with a black cap that can be erected. Females look similar, but are barred black and cinnamon above and buff below with a cinnamon cap. Usually seen in pairs in the dense understory and middle levels of humid forests mostly in and around bamboo patches.
Snowy-crowned Robin-Chat
Cossypha niveicapilla
Beautiful robin-chat with a black face and a white crown. The color of the back varies geographically from slate-gray to black. Like a typical robin-chat, the tail has a dark center and orange sides. Found in forest, woodland, thickets, and gardens, usually in the understory. The pretty song is highly variable, including a variety of whistled calls and sometimes imitations of other bird species. Similar to White-crowned Robin-Chat, but smaller, with an orange chin and collar around the sides of the neck.
White-naped Pigeon
Columba albinucha
A dark maroon-gray pigeon with a hind-crown and nape that are white in the male and gray in the female. At close quarters the bill can be seen to have a black base with a red-yellow tip, and the legs are reddish-purple. In flight the tail has pale-tipped corners. A scarce and localized resident found in pairs in the canopy of lowland and sub-montane forest in isolated populations in the Albertine Rift and Cameroon. Vocalizations are poorly documented, but reputed to be similar to those of Rameron Pigeon, which is larger than White-naped with a yellow eye-ring, bill, and feet, white speckling on the wings, and no white on the head.
