Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush
Pterorhinus pectoralis
A large, long-tailed, thrushlike bird of dense forests. Note its black necklace, streaked white cheek patch, and pale band near the tip of the tail. Very similar to Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush; note dark eye and ‘contained’ (completely encircled) cheek patch. Shy and difficult to see well. Usually found in small flocks in wet lowland and hill forest, often near streams. Song is a series of loud whistles, not as long or varied as that of Hwamei. Native to East and Southeast Asia; introduced to the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

White-striped Forest Rail
Rallicula leucospila
A medium-sized rail of mid-mountane forest on New Guinea’s Bird’s Head. Chestnut body, dark wings and back with white markings on. Very quick moving and difficult to see. Co-occurs with the similar Chestnut Forest Rail but the White-striped Forest Rail is slightly larger with barred rear flanks, the male has white streaks rather than a plain back, and female has a slightly bared tail and is spotted to the back of the neck. Voice, an incessant quacking.
Racket-tailed Roller
Coracias spatulatus
Scarce and beautiful long-tailed roller. Varies geographically: birds in the southern part of the range have a blue breast, while those in the north have a pink breast. Distinctive tail shape: rounded rackets at the tips of the elongated outer tail feathers. Found in lush woodland, mostly miombo. Calls are an unmusical variety of hollow notes, squawks, and squeaks. Pink-breasted birds are very similar to Lilac-breasted Roller, but Racket-tailed has rufous on the shoulder and a distinctive tail shape.
Plain-crested Elaenia
Elaenia cristata
Medium-sized nondescript flycatcher that usually shows an erect crest without white markings. Very similar to others Elaenia species and is best identified by its song—a gravelly “jer-jéhjeh,” and its call—a soft “wee.” Also note its olive-green back, grayish breast, pale belly, and two wingbars. Inhabits open areas with scattered trees and savanna woodlands where it usually perches very upright on the top of shrubs or trees.
