Forest Scimitarbill
Rhinopomastus castaneiceps
Odd, long-tailed, slender-billed bird. The birds in the western part of the range are brown-hooded. In the east, male birds can have a glossy green, brown, or whitish head, and females can show a brown or whitish head. Note the dark bill and legs. Found in humid forest. Usually in pairs or small groups of up to 10. There are two distinctive calls: a dry rattling given in chorus, and a mournful series of rising whistles. Similar to White-headed Woodhoopoe, but easily separated by the dark bill and legs.

Rwenzori Hill Babbler
Sylvia atriceps
Chunky mid-sized bird with a rich-brown back, a gray breast, rufous flanks, and a black head. Found in thick and tangled portions of the understory and mid-story of montane forest, usually in pairs. Skulking bird that is most often detected by voice: a pleasant series of several fluty whistles. Similar to illadopsises, but easily separated by its all-dark head.
Yellow-capped Pygmy-Parrot
Micropsitta keiensis
A tiny parrot of lowland and foothill forest canopy in the south and west of New Guinea. Mostly green with yellow under the tail and a yellowish crown. NW birds have a red streak on the belly. Crawls actively on trunks, even upside down, like a nuthatch. May overlap with Red-breasted and Buff-faced but Yellow-capped lacks the blue crown and buff face. Call, a shrill, descending screech “kiiiiiii!”.
Spot-tailed Nightjar
Antiurus maculicaudus
Small nightjar of savanna and grassland with scattered bushes and palmettos. Spends the day roosting cryptically on the ground, but at night may be found beside quiet roads and tracks. Like all nightjars, eyes reflect amber-red in lights. Plumage similar to other nightjars, but note the pale buffy eyebrow, buffy V-shaped stripe on the back, and bold wing spotting. Male has small white tail tip, lacking in female. White spots on male’s tail usually only visible in the hand. Song is high and insectlike, unlikely to draw attention.
