Western Crowned Warbler

A spectacular large, long-tailed bird of lowland and montane forest. Blackish, with glossy wings, a white-tipped tail, rufous underparts and back, a yellow bill, red skin in front of and behind the eye, and a white hood with a line of scaled feathers down from the bill and up over the crown. Forages at all levels for insects and other prey, particularly in vine tangles. Sometimes joins mixed-species flocks. Similar in size and shape to Red-crested Malkoha, but Scale-feathered has an obvious white hood. Call is a chilling, high-pitched shriek.

Unmistakable black partridge with a bright red head (hence the alternative name, “Bloodhead”). Inhabits Bornean montane forest (roughly 1000–1700 m) but may be encountered outside this altitudinal range. Gives a loud, ringing, somewhat metallic “ring-YING, ring-YING, ring-YING”.

A fairly large ground-dwelling forest dove. Male is mostly dark with a diagnostic pale head and breast. Upperparts are rufous-brown, head pale gray, belly blackish-brown, and throat, neck, and breast cream-colored. Female entirely brown, with head, neck, and tail considerably more rufous than rest of body. Singles and small groups inhabit forested lowlands on Timor and Wetar islands. Female distinguished from Little and Timor Cuckoo-Doves by shorter tail, dark eyes, and absence of barring. The species gives a two-note hooting call with a short introductory note and an upslurred second one: “wu-wOOYOOP.”
