Elgon Francolin
Scleroptila elgonensis
A pretty, intricately marked medium-sized francolin with a brown back, rufous underparts, and a white throat bordered with black spots. The wings show large rufous patches in flight. Found at high elevations in alpine grassland and heath, often in small groups. Similar to Shelley’s Francolin, but found in different habitat at higher elevations, and separated by many details, including the more solidly rufous underparts without heavy black barring on the belly. The vocalizations include a series of “squee-chee” notes, and a squealing call often given in flight.

Sulawesi Brush Cuckoo
Cacomantis virescens
A medium-sized cuckoo, with a warm buff colored throat, chest, and belly. Gray eyering and heavily barred tail. Similar to Plaintive Cuckoo, which is paler with a contrasting gray hood and buffy belly. Found in a variety of wooded habitats throughout Sulawesi. Most frequently encountered by its incessantly given song, a series of high-pitched overslurred piping notes.
Black-headed Parrotbill
Paradoxornis margaritae
A large, black-capped parrotbill restricted to southern Annam in Vietnam and adjacent areas of Cambodia. Similar in general shape and color scheme to Gray-headed Parrotbill (no range overlap) but with an indistinct dark cheek patch, warmer coloration, and no bold black stripes on the face. Primarily inhabits forest edge areas, particularly with dominant scrubby cover. Social, roving around in flocks at all levels of the forest. Song is a series of bright and somewhat husky repeated notes.
Red-browed Treecreeper
Climacteris erythrops
A gray-brown treecreeper with a rusty red eyebrow and pale throat and chest. Belly strongly streaked white.Viewed from behind, gray head contrasts with browner back. (White-throated Treecreeper has a brownish head and brownish back.) In flight, shows a broad pale wing-bar. Works its way up tree trunks. Usually found in very wet eucalypt forests; overlaps in habitat with White-throated Treecreeper. Calls are more raspy and insect-like than in White-throated Treecreeper.
