Rufous-backed Fantail
Rhipidura rufidorsa
A fairly small, long-tailed bird of lowland and foothill forest interior. Plain brown underparts and head with rufous wings and rump. Black tail with obvious white tips which it often keeps fanned and cocked. Does not normally co-occur with other brown fantails. Possible overlap with Arafura Fantail although that species has black face and chest markings. Similar to female Rufous Fantail but Rufous-backed is found at lower elevations and lacks the rufous underparts and head. Voice, a lazy, downward series of slurred whistles, sounding like ‘Three Blind Mice’.

Gray-faced Buzzard
Butastur indicus
Long-winged raptor, often seen in large kettles on migration. Breeds in montane forests, where its strident two-note whistle is often heard. Adult is brown with a spotted belly, a clean white throat bordered by two black streaks and distinct white eyebrow. Juvenile is more extensively white on the head and belly, with brown upperparts sometimes blotched with white. Can be confused with Oriental Honey-Buzzard but head proportionately larger, wings narrower, and barring on the wings weaker.
African Red-rumped Swallow
Cecropis melanocrissus
Brightly-colored swallow with a deeply forked tail, pale orangish rump, black squared-off undertail coverts, and an incomplete orange collar. Color of underparts varies geographically from pale whitish to rufous, with sparse or no streaking. Juveniles average paler and lack extensive orangish tones; may resemble house-martins but note deeply forked tail. Builds mud nests on rocks as well as human structures, and forages over a wide variety of open habitats. Frequently gives a short, sparrow-like “twi’wit.” Very similar to European Red-rumped Swallow, but with little or no streaking below.
Tree Pipit
Anthus trivialis
Slender and streaked pipit. Feeds on the ground like other pipits, but perches readily in trees or bushes when singing, or alights in tree at end of parachuting song flight. As the name suggests, usually associated with trees (on breeding grounds), but also found in agricultural areas and grassy scrub in winter. All pipits look rather similar and are best identified to species by combination of habitat and voice: Tree Pipit call a high, shrill, buzzy "tzzz"; song more melodic and varied than Meadow Pipit song.
