Energetic and pugnacious little dark-brown vanga. The eye is brown, and the underparts are grayish. Madagascar endemic that is found in eastern rainforest, mainly at middle elevations. Constantly on the move through the mid-story, usually in pairs. Song is a complicated up-and-down warble. Darker eye and darker overall coloration separate it from Common Newtonia.

Greater Hoopoe-Lark
Alaemon alaudipes
A unique, large desert lark. On the ground, plumage is unimpressive with spotted breast and overall sandy tones, but in flight a magnificent white-and-black pattern is exposed. Males are slightly brighter-patterned than females. Bill is long and downcurved. Constantly runs on its long legs. Breeds on sandy and stony plains and low hills. Resident or nomadic. Song is a beautiful ascending series on flutey whistles followed by a descending trill; often given in a dramatic vertical display flight.
Torresian Imperial-Pigeon
Ducula spilorrhoa
Large, predominantly white pigeon with black wing feathers. Tip of the tail also black. Feeds on fruits, known to roost on islands and in mangroves. Forms large flocks.
Giant Pitta
Hydrornis caeruleus
Extremely elusive and rarely-seen ground-dweller; listen instead for its haunting whistle. If seen, overall size and chunkiness alone should be sufficient to distinguish this species from other pittas. Male has bright blue wings and a grayish head with a thin black line curving downwards from behind the eye. Female is browner overall, with a blue rump and warm rufous-brown wings. Rare in lowland and foothill forests, particularly in swampy or riparian areas.
