Mayotte Sunbird
Cinnyris coquerellii
A small sunbird with a relatively short, slightly downcurved bill. Males are a beautiful mix of green, purple, red, and yellow. Females are fairly drab, with a dark-streaked pale breast and a yellow belly. Found in all habitats on the island of Mayotte, though most common in scrubby habitat rather than in forest. In its small range, it is the only sunbird, so it is easily identified by its bill shape. The song is a typical sunbird jumble of high-pitched notes, and the call is a rising whine.

Pied Butcherbird
Cracticus nigrogularis
Medium-sized ambush-hunter with a long gray bill with a dark, hooked tip. Adult has black head, upper breast, back, and tail that contrast starkly with white nape, breast, belly, and wing pattern. Immature similarly patterned in brown instead of black. More likely than Gray Butcherbird to perch atop trees and poles. Beautiful fluting, whistling song, sometimes heard at night.
Yellow-throated Bunting
Emberiza elegans
Attractive songbird of parks, forests, and meadows. The combination of crest and yellow brow and throat unmistakable. Adult male has a black chest patch, mask, and crest combined with a yellow throat and brow. Female is similar but paler and lacks any kind of chest patch. Both sexes have brown backs and lightly marked pale bellies. Usually found in small flocks, foraging within vegetation, often on the ground.
Chinese Penduline-Tit

Handsome small songbird of fields and wetlands with extensive reedy cover. Both sexes light brown with white-bordered dark mask. Male has a gray crown with rufous tones in wings and neck, female more uniformly colored above. Flies lightly and bouncily; flying flocks cluster tightly together. Forms large flocks in the winter, when they sometimes feed with reed buntings. Calls are high-pitched and thin, often with a rasping quality.
