Shelley's Rufous Sparrow
Passer shelleyi
A typical sparrow with a striped back, a gray crown and nape, and a black bib. The rufous rump is conspicuous in flight. The sexes are similar, though males are brighter overall and have more rufous on the face. Found locally in dry thorn savanna and cultivated areas, sometimes around human habitation. Similar to Somali Sparrow, but the male is separated by his gray crown and the female by her much more colorful overall plumage. Very similar to Kenya Rufous Sparrow, but not known to overlap in range, and Shelley’s is separated by its dark eye. The call is a cheerful “chirp” like that of other sparrows.

Western Black-headed Batis
Batis erlangeri
A typical black, white, and dark-gray batis. Note the chest band, which is black in males and chestnut in females. Found in woodland and moist savanna, often in pairs. Very similar to Gray-headed Batis, and best distinguished by voice, but also usually shows a darker gray crown. Also similar to Senegal and Pale Batises, but has a narrower white eyebrow stripe than the former and is darker overall than the latter. The distinctive song is a series of hollow whistles on the same pitch.

A drab thrush, uncommon in open habitats and woodlands in the lowlands. Nondescript grayish-brown with a pale whitish belly. Sexes similar. Usually seen singly or in pairs. Song is a typical thrushlike series of musical phrases. Similar to Pantepui Thrush but separated by grayer body, stronger throat pattern, and different habitat.
