Northern Grosbeak-Canary
Crithagra donaldsoni
A large seedeater with a very large pinkish bill. Males are brownish-olive above and yellow below with a diffuse but noticeable head pattern; females are brown above and white below with heavy streaking all over the body. Both sexes have a yellow rump that is conspicuous in flight. Found in dry thorn savanna, thorn scrub, and semi-desert, usually in pairs or small groups. The distinctive song consists of series of sliding whistles: several on a higher pitch, then several on a lower pitch, several on the higher pitch, and so on. Separated from all other seedeaters in its range by its larger size and heavier pale bill.

Asian Short-toed Lark
Alaudala cheleensis
A nondescript-looking small songbird of arid open areas. Adult brownish above, white below; juvenile similar but has neat white edging to its dark feathers. Crestless, stout-billed appearance distinguishes this species from other larks in the region. The slightly larger Greater Short-toed Lark is similar but has a small black neck stripe, weaker breast streaking, and is paler overall, with a lighter face and belly.
Sao Tome Oriole
Oriolus crassirostris
Old World oriole that is unusual in nearly lacking yellow in its plumage. There is a dark hood which is solid in males and streaky in females. A small white mark on the wing and pale yellow marks in the outer tail can be conspicuous in flight. Found in the canopy of rainforest at low and middle elevations. Song is a series of slurred, low-pitched liquid whistles. Calls include a harsh, upslurred nasal scold. Easily identified, as it is the only oriole on the island of Sao Tome.
Striated Starling
Aplonis striata
Small, dark starling with a bright red eye, short tail, and thick bill. Male glossy black with a faintly striated pattern. Female gray overall, slightly paler on the underparts. Found throughout New Caledonia and on the Loyalty Islands, though more common in areas of higher quality habitat. Most common call a surprisingly high-pitched, clear downslurred whistle. Also gives a more rarely-heard quiet babbling song.
