Ventriloquial Oriole
Oriolus consobrinus
A streak-breasted oriole with a rather long, lipstick-pink bill. Male is yellow with a glossy black hood and dark wings. Female is olive-green above. Both sexes have dark red eyes. Limited to northern Borneo, where has at most limited overlap with the similar Dark-throated Oriole (with which it was formerly considered conspecific). Inhabits lowland and hill forests and forest edges, typically moving in the upper levels of the forest. Sometimes found singly, sometimes in pairs or mixed flocks. Song is short but fluidly melodic, often with the last note stretched out. Gives a harsh, jay-like “chew!”.

Yellow-bellied Hyliota
Hyliota flavigaster
Mid-sized, generic-looking warbler-like bird. Males have a glossy blue-black back, a white wing patch, and pale yellowish underparts. Females are similar, but more gray-brown on the back. Found in savanna with broadleaf trees, including miombo and Guinea savanna. Usually in pairs or small groups, which will join mixed-species feeding flocks. The quiet vocalizations include chatty calls and trills. Very similar to Southern Hyliota. In most of the range, Yellow-bellied males distinguished by the longer white patch on the wing, and females by their grayer upperparts. In Uganda and Kenya, males are extremely similar, but Yellow-bellied can still be recognized by its more glossy blue-black back.
Brown Eared-Pheasant
Crossoptilon mantchuricum
An odd, thickset terrestrial bird with an unusual pair of upswept white plumes (“‘ears”) emerging from below a blood-red face. Overall gray-brown, with frosty gray-white rump and dark-tipped tail. Usually found foraging in brushy clearings and forest edges; where habituated to human presence and fed, regularly visits monastery and estate grounds. The most northerly of the eared-pheasants, and the only one in its range. Gives various hoarse grunts and squeals.
Little Curlew
Numenius minutus
Smallest of the Asian curlews, just larger than a snipe. Found in open fields, grasslands, and pastures and also on coastal mudflats during migration. Large eyes give this bird a gentle appearance. Paler and more warmly colored than other curlews, Little also lacks the pale rump of Eurasian and Far Eastern and lacks the strong facial stripes and longer bill of Whimbrel. Flight call a high-pitched, ringing “pipipi”, higher than Whimbrel’s.
