Streak-breasted Fantail
Rhipidura dedemi
A little rufous songbird with a long broad tail, often held cocked and habitually fanned. Rufous above with a darker pale-tipped tail. Head is brown with two prominent white markings near the eye; conspicuous white throat is bordered with bold black streaking below. Belly pale and unstreaked. Confined to foothill and montane forests on Seram, where pairs and singles often accompany mixed-species flocks. Unmistakable, as it is the only brown-backed fantail on Seram. Song is a sequence of high-pitched, squeaky descending whistles. Also gives a short, sharp buzzing “zjit” call note.

African Palm Swift
Cypsiurus parvus
A very slender gray-brown swift with a long, deeply forked tail that is often held closed, making it look needle-like and pointed. The erratic flight pattern, with frequent direction changes and rapid wingbeats on long, scythe-shaped wings, is distinctive. Less gregarious than other swifts; usually found in pairs or small flocks, and association with other swallows and swifts is usually only fleeting. Forages over a wide variety of habitats with palms, including savanna, coastal scrub, towns, villages, cultivated areas, forest edge, and clearings, from sea level up to 1800 meters of elevation, preferring lowlands. Nests and roosts in palms and uses its tiny legs with hook-like claws to cling to the undersides of fronds. Gives a high-pitched, metallic “tre-tit-tit-tit-tit-tit-tit-tit” call, solitarily or in unison with others. Separated from other swifts by its longer and thinner tail.
Thick-billed Ground-Pigeon
Trugon terrestris
A large ground pigeon of lowland and foothill forest. Plump with dark upperparts and pale rufous flanks. White cheek with a low crest behind the head and a bright red eye. Pale legs and a long, thick, pale-tipped bill. Shy and difficult to see. Forages on the ground and often flicks its tail. Thick bill and white cheek differentiate it from any similar-sized ground bird. Call, a single, flutelike “hoo!” given at regular intervals. Sounds like blowing over the top of a bottle.
White-backed Swallow
Cheramoeca leucosterna
A very distinctive black-and-white swallow of arid inland Australia. Prominent white upper back, with black belly and black strongly forked tail. Nests in earthen banks, including road cuts and river banks. Usually seen in small flocks. Compare Fairy and Tree Martins, which have pale rump rather than upper back, and Welcome Swallow, which has a completely dark back. Call is a clipped "chik."
