White-tailed Tityra
Tityra leucura
Rare and mysterious species long known only from a 19th century specimen, but more recently seen by a lucky few in southern Amazonian Brazil. Seems to prefer the canopy of tall, humid forest. Mostly white with a slightly grayer back, and black cap and wings. Compared to other tityra species, note white tail, shorter and smaller bill, and lack of any bare facial skin. Taxonomic affinities are uncertain, and shape and behavior seem closer to some becards than other tityras. Voice unknown.

Gray-cheeked Nunlet
Nonnula frontalis
Rare and unobtrusive in forests and woodlands, typically with dense understory. Distinctive within limited range. Rather plump with large, slightly decurved bill. Brownish overall with warmer rufous crown, gray cheek, and tawny throat. Also note pinkish eyering. Sexes similar. Perches stolidly in the lower to middle levels; typically singly or in pairs.
Black-eared Catbird
Ailuroedus melanotis
Chunky rainforest bird with emerald green upperparts, thick pale beak, and a large black "ear" spot below the dark red eye. Underparts are pale green-olive with extensive pale spotting. Inhabits New Guinea, and northern Cape York (Queensland). Almost identical in appearance to the Spotted Catbird, which is fractionally larger, so in Australia this species is best identified by range (Spotted Catbird found only further south in the Cairns region). Forages mostly in middle and upper story of rainforest. Catbirds are well known for their characteristic and distinctive cat-like yowling calls.
Buff-fronted Owl
Aegolius harrisii
Strikingly beautiful small owl without ear tufts. Dark chocolate brown above with pale spots contrasting with a creamy-rufous belly. The face is strongly marked with a dark line from the crown down across the eyes. Usually found in open woodlands, forest edge, and second growth without large trees. Voice is a low descending, rolling “prruuuu.”
