Somali Bunting
Emberiza poliopleura
A beautiful bunting of dry country. Note the black-and-white facial pattern, the gray back with russet streaks, the gray rump, and the yellow breast with pale sides. Found in dry thorn savanna, often in pairs. Similar to Golden-breasted Bunting, but found in drier habitat, and range overlap is minimal; look for Somali Bunting’s overall paler coloration, narrower black stripes on the face, grayer back and rump, and pale sides. The song is usually a short series of the same two-note whistled phrase, repeated. One call is a long, ascending whistle.

Eastern Yellow-billed Hornbill
Tockus flavirostris
A medium-sized black-and-white hornbill with a big downcurved “banana” bill. Males have a larger bill and pinkish bare skin on the throat; females have a smaller bill and black bare skin. Found locally in dry savanna and thornscrub. The call is a long series of deep clucks that rises and falls. Easily separated from similar black-and-white hornbills in its range by the all-yellow bill.
Choco Sirystes
Sirystes albogriseus
A medium-sized flycatcher, reminiscent of a mix between a becard and a Myiarchus flycatcher. Uncommon to rare in lowlands and foothills from eastern Panama to northwest Ecuador. Gray above and white below with a dark cap and black wings with bold white edging. More slender-bodied and longer-tailed than a becard. Occurs in open areas, second-growth, and forest edge, often perching conspicuously in the middle to upper levels.
Preuss's Swallow
Petrochelidon preussi
A locally abundant swallow often seen around bridges, buildings, and culverts, where it constructs its mud nests. Distinctive cream-colored underparts contrast with its nearly uniform glossy blue upperparts. In flight, it has a noticeable pale rump and a short tail with white “windows” in the tail feathers. Rather unique within its range. Gives raspy calls in flight.
