Gray-breasted Spurfowl
Pternistis rufopictus
A large gray-and-brown francolin with bare red skin on the throat and around the eyes. Also note the red bill, the dark gray legs, and the chestnut, buff, and black markings along the sides of the belly. Pale patches in the outer wings are conspicuous in flight. Found in fairly dry thorn savanna, woodland, and thickets, usually in pairs or small groups. Similar to Red-necked Francolin, but there is little overlap in range, and separated by the brown legs and many plumage details. Also similar to Yellow-necked Francolin, but easily separated by the red or sometimes orange (rather than yellow) throat. The call is a fading series of grating “kreaaak” notes.

Crested Satinbird
Cnemophilus macgregorii
A fairly large, colorful bird of upper montane forest. Plump with a rather square-shaped head. Male has a blue eye, black underparts and an indistinct crest on the forehead. Upperparts are bright yellow in the southeast, and bright scarlet in the rest of the range. Female is olive green with orange-brown wing and tail. Male is unmistakable. Female is similar to but larger than female Loria’s Satinbird and has a pale gray eye. Also similar to but smaller than the female MacGregor’s Bowerbird and more greenish than brown. Male gives a rasping growl and has audible wingbeats.
Blackthroat
Calliope obscura
A somberly-colored robin which breeds in dense bamboo thickets. Male is slate-gray above (only a hint of blue may be detected in good lighting) with a white belly and black bib. Female is brown with a paler belly and a rusty-brown tail. Forages on the ground and in low bushes like most other small robins. Shy, usually keeping close to cover. Song is a series of distinct, separated phrases consisting of bright fluid warbling, high buzzy trills, and buzzy warbling.
Smoky Robin
Melanodryas cryptoleuca
A fairly small bird of montane forest. Slaty-gray plumage, paler below with blackish wings and tail. Perches low down, often on diagonal branches or vertical mossy trunks, flicking its tail and scanning the ground for insects. Very similar to Blue-gray Robin, but Smoky lacks the bluish tinge to the gray, has a paler belly and less contrasting black wing feathers. Voice, an up-and-down “whit-tyap!” repeated in series.
