Northern Tropical Pewee

Contopus bogotensis

Small, gray flycatcher with a yellow-tinged belly and a short crest. Very similar to both Eastern Wood-Pewee and Western Wood-Pewee, but has shorter wings, a longer tail, and sometimes shows a pale spot between bill and eye. Note that wood-pewees are migratory birds, so are not present year-round in the areas where they overlap with Northern Tropical Pewee. Voice is the most reliable ID feature; Northern Tropical Pewee’s typical song is a very short, sputtering burst. Inhabits light woodland, forest edge, and overgrown fields. Usually seen on an exposed perch, from which it regularly sallies out to chase insect prey, often returning to the same spot over and over again.

Cassin's Honeybird

Cassin's Honeybird

Prodotiscus insignis

A small, upright honeyguide of forest and forest edge, where it forages for insects and flycatches into the open. Plumage is a relatively uniform olive-green to green, with a paler throat, small pale eye arcs, and bright white outer tail feathers that are obvious when flying out for insects. Similar to Green-backed Honeyguide and Wahlberg’s Honeyguide, but differs in range, in its overall greenish coloration including the belly, and in its clean white outer tail feathers. Voice is little known, but apparently gives a buzzy trill in flight that rises and falls in pitch. 

Northern Sooty-Woodpecker

Northern Sooty-Woodpecker

Mulleripicus funebris

A large woodpecker of foothill forest on Luzon and neighboring islands. Entirely black with a long pointed tail, fine speckling on the neck, pale eyes, and a yellow bill. Male has a reddish face. Males on Polillo have a gray crown. Occurs together with White-bellied Woodpecker and Luzon Flameback, but has a dark belly. Voice includes a loud, quavering squeal. Gives powerful drums.

Red-backed Shrike

Red-backed Shrike

Lanius collurio

Handsome small shrike. Male distinctive, with blue-gray head, black mask, rusty-brown back; female has warm brown upperparts, fine dark scalloping on breast and flanks. Found in open areas with scattered bushes and trees, such as heathland, overgrown orchards, and open farmland with hedges and scattered bushes; especially favors areas with thorny plants on which prey (small birds, large insects, rodents) can be impaled in "larders." Hunts from perches atop bushes and on wires, but at other times is retiring and easily overlooked. Listen for harsh, rough-sounding calls. Song is a rather quiet warble, often with mimicked elements.
