Bocage's Weaver
Ploceus temporalis
A fairly large weaver with a long thin pointed bill. The male has a pale eye, and during the breeding season a brownish wash to the ear. Non-breeding males and females are dull, with olive-green upperparts and paler underparts. Found locally in areas with a mix of trees, bushes, and abundant grassy ground cover. Nests adjacent water. Gives a typical weaver chattering and rasping song, and a “chek” call. Breeding males are distinctive, and other plumages can be identified with caution by a combination of their size, long and thin bill, and the pale eyes of the males.

Black-faced Grassquit
Melanospiza bicolor
Small sparrowlike bird found in the Caribbean and northern South America. Males are dull olive above with a variable amount of black on the face and breast. Females are plain grayish-olive overall; note the small size, short tail, and pinkish bill and legs. Very similar to female Sooty Grassquit. Found in pairs or small groups in shrubby or grassy areas and forest edge, typically on or near the ground.
Pied Thrush
Geokichla wardii
Slender, ground-dwelling thrush. Male is breathtakingly decked out in black and white. Female is not as eye-catching, but still distinctive with a white eyebrow, scaled underparts, and long yellow bill. Breeds in damp, well-shaded foothill forests in the central Himalayas and winters in dense forests, forest edge, and overgrown plantations in Sri Lanka.
Abd al Kuri Sparrow
Passer hemileucus
Typical “rufous sparrow”, with a striped back and a gray crown, nape, and rump. Males have a black bib, and are brighter overall, with more rufous on the face and shoulder. Endemic to the Socotran island of Abd al Kuri, where it inhabits dry habitats, particularly rocky and scrubby slopes, sometimes around human settlements. The call is a cheerful “chirp”, often given in a slow series, similar to other sparrows. Similar to Socotra Sparrow, but separated by range.
