Solomons Cicadabird
Edolisoma holopolium
The male is a striking black-and-gray cicadabird; pitch black below and on the face, leaving a light gray cap and upperside. The tail is also black. The female is mostly powder-gray with diagnostic uniformly dark slate flight feathers and tail. Found in forest at low and moderate elevations on the Solomon Islands. Male is similar to Central Melanesian Cicadabird, but distinguished by its paler upperparts and darker underparts. Most common vocalization is a rasping, upslurred “vvr-reeeoo” or a series of these notes. Also gives a bleating call.

Rusty-crowned Tit-Spinetail
Leptasthenura pileata
Attractive, long-tailed bird found in the high Andes of Peru. Plumage is brown overall with a chestnut crown, speckled throat, and streaked belly. Plumage varies geographically, and birds in southern Peru are much darker below with bolder streaking. Inhabits scrub and woodland with short trees. Vocalizations have a metallic quality; they include a high-pitched trill and a series of sharp chips.
Buff-shouldered Widowbird
Euplectes psammacromius
Breeding males are mostly black with a long tail. There is a large yellow-and-buff patch on the shoulder. Females and non-breeding males are streaky and brown, though males retain their colorful shoulder. Found locally in montane marsh, heath, and grassland. Vocalizations include low rasps and twittering and sizzling calls. Male separated from Marsh Widowbird by its more extensive buff shoulder patch. Female can be confused with several other species, but is usually identified by association with buff-shouldered males.
Andaman Crake
Rallina canningi
A relatively large, rust-colored crake with a pale bill and barred black-and-white underparts. Very shy and skulking in dense woodland, where it forages on the wet forest floor. Known to be most active at dawn and dusk. Its loud and screechy “chraaw-chraaw-chraaw-...” often gives away its presence in the vicinity.
