Red-tailed Greenbul
Criniger calurus
A medium-sized greenbul often found in flocks in forest and forest edge with other bearded-greenbuls. Like all bearded-greenbuls, will sometimes puff out its throat feathers. Often forages actively in the foliage. Shows a grayish head, a bright white throat, yellow-green underparts, and olive-green upperparts with a reddish tail. Nearly identical to White-bearded Greenbul, and can occur with it in the same mixed-species flocks in Central Africa. Not all individuals can be safely identified. Listen for Red-tailed Greenbul’s distinctive calls as they forage in the branches and leaves, and look for its brighter tail and, at close range, its bigger, wider bill. The species is vocal, frequently giving a “hup-chup-cheer-you-up!” or similar multi-parted variations.

Capped Conebill
Conirostrum albifrons
Small tanager-like bird found in the subtropical zone of the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia. Sharp pointed bill. Male is dark blackish overall with cobalt highlights shoulder and rump, and a blue (south) or white (north) crown. Female very different: olive above with gray head and chest and yellow belly. Her blue crown can be difficult to see. Even in poor light, easily picked out of a mixed-species flock by its frequent tail pumping.
Sula Lorikeet
Trichoglossus flavoviridis
Vibrantly beautiful small lorikeet with a bright red bill and extensive golden-yellow “scaling” on the breast. Leaf-green back separated sharply from yellow head by a vertical dark bar. Large, pale bare patch around the eye give this parrot a somewhat “crazy” expression. Endemic to the Sula Archipelago, where it wanders foothill forests and more open areas in flocks, often gathering at fruiting and flowering trees. Bright yellow markings and overall shape distinguish this species from racquet-tails, hanging-parrots, and Tanygnathus parrots. Gives high-pitched shrieking calls. Formerly lumped in with Yellow-cheeked Lorikeet under the name “Yellow-and-green Lorikeet.”
Silver-breasted Broadbill
Serilophus lunatus
A small, quiet bird with a distinctly silky, smooth-feathered appearance. Shape and pattern unique and unmistakable; note thick black stripe behind eye, dark wings with a glossy blue panel, and broad-based pale bluish bill. Usually moves around through the middle layers of forest from lowlands up into the mountains. Does not often join mixed-species foraging flocks, instead tending to stick to medium-sized groups of its own species. Sometimes gives a smooth, fluid ‘teelee!’
