Sumba Flycatcher
Ficedula harterti
A small rufous-brown flycatcher. Rufescent above and pale below, with rufous patches on the breast sides. Occupies lower understory of lowland forest and forest edge, singly or in pairs. Juveniles show two pale wingbars. Confined to the island of Sumba. Combination of rufescent upperparts, absence of eye-ring, and entirely dark bill separates this species from Sumba Brown, Flores Jungle, and Asian Brown Flycatchers. Simple song is a short series of evenly pitched whistled notes, sometimes interspersed with a short, buzzy rattle. Also gives cicada-like “tzeeee” and “chikik” calls.

Sharpe's Apalis
Apalis sharpii
A slender, plain sooty-gray apalis with red eyes and a white-tipped tail; female has a buff-chestnut throat. Juvenile has yellowish underparts. Restricted to Upper Guinea, where it is resident; pairs inhabit the canopy of tall primary and secondary lowland, gallery, and dry forest, where no similar apalises occur. Most often detected by its characteristic song, a sweet rollicking “chi-reet, chi-reet, chi-reet,” sometimes given in duet.
Fawn-breasted Thrush
Zoothera machiki
A boldly patterned terrestrial brown thrush. Upperparts brown with a particularly rich rufous back and tail, striking white spots on the wings, a fawn-colored throat and chest, and a boldly scaled whitish belly. Inhabits both forest and scrub, where typically observed foraging on the ground alone. Confined to the Tanimbar Islands. Readily identified, as it is the only brown thrush in the islands. Song comprises a sequence of piping and whistled notes. Call is a short “tsit.”
Swallow-tailed Kite
Elanoides forficatus
A graceful, uniquely shaped raptor with long, narrow wings and deeply forked tail. Black-and-white with shining blue-gray upperwing. Usually seen in flight as it soars and glides while twisting its tail. Wingbeats are deep, fluid flaps. Found over a variety of wooded habitats with a preference for wetter habitats around rivers and ponds. Feeds mainly on insects captured on the wing.
