Colima Warbler
Leiothlypis crissalis
Rather drab warbler of highlands in Mexico. Dusky gray-brown overall with grayer head, bold white eyering, buffy flanks, and mustard-yellow undertail coverts. Sings from atop bushes and small trees, but otherwise rather skulking, generally staying low and well-hidden. Does not join mixed-species flocks. Breeds in oak scrub and thickets within mountainous pine-oak forest. Winters in brushy flower banks and tangles within pine-oak forest. Breeding range barely enters the U.S. in the Big Bend region of Texas.
Seychelles Blue-Pigeon
Alectroenas pulcherrimus
Medium-sized chunky pigeon that is dark blue with a pale gray hood and a warty patch of red bare skin on the face. Found in all habitats with trees, especially in areas with fruiting trees, though most common in montane forest. The common vocalization is a long, quick series of short growling notes. Dark blue coloration and pale head easily separate it from all other pigeons in its range.
Red-faced Crombec
Sylvietta whytii
Small and virtually tailless warbler with a gray back and rufous underparts. The face is completely rufous, giving it an “open” impression. Found in a variety of savanna and woodland habitat, though mostly in Miombo in the southern part of its range. The song varies geographically: can be a soft warble or a trill. The call is a short, fast, wooden rattle. Northern and Long-billed Crombecs can look similar, but Red-faced is separated by its lack of an eye stripe.
