White-capped Bunting

Emberiza stewarti

Male’s elegant black-and-white facial pattern is unique. Female is plain, streaky brown all over with faint white eye-ring, a weak hint of the male’s facial pattern, and a small white spot on the “ears”. Breeds in rocky gullies, valleys, and hillsides at middle to upper elevations; winters at lower altitudes, in fields, scrubland, and open dry forest. Song is a series of twanging buzzy pulses: “TZI-TZI-TZI-TZI-TZI.”

Green-headed Oriole

Green-headed Oriole

Oriolus chlorocephalus

Old World oriole with mostly yellow plumage, a dull-green hood, and a red bill. Found in forest, forest edge, lush woodland, and adjacent secondary habitats, at low and middle elevations. Song is a series of slurred, liquid whistles, and calls include a raspy, up-slurred whine. Similar to African Black-headed Oriole, but with a good view, easily separated by the green rather than black hood. Often found in the same areas as Eurasian Golden and African Golden Orioles, but distinguished by being hooded rather than yellow-headed.

Mountain Elaenia

Mountain Elaenia

Elaenia frantzii

Unobtrusive and easily overlooked flycatcher of highlands in Central America; recently found in northern Chiapas. Occurs mainly at forest edge and in overgrown scrubby areas with trees and fruiting bushes. Perches quietly and fairly upright, sallying out to pluck berries. Note the overall drab plumage, rounded head (lacks distinct crest of larger and bulkier Yellow-bellied Elaenia), whitish eyering, and big whitish edges to the tertials.

Socotra Buzzard

Socotra Buzzard

Buteo socotraensis

A typical medium-sized brown-and-white buzzard that was only recognized as distinct in 2010. The underparts are whitish buff with heavily streaked underparts (lighter on the throat). Underwings display significant contrast, with pale primaries and secondaries standing out against black 'wrists' and rusty 'wingpits'. Juveniles are buffier and less heavily streaked. Uncommon resident endemic to Socotra, mostly between 150–800m, preferring ravines and cliffs; other buzzards are vagrants. Calls like other buzzards.
