Himalayan Bluetail
Tarsiger rufilatus
Brightly-colored adult male is unmistakable in range: blazing sapphire blue with orange flanks and white throat and belly. Female is brown with a white throat, orange flanks, and pale blue rump and tail. Red-flanked Bluetail can be confusing where the two overlap in the latter’s migratory and winter range; note Himalayan’s brighter blue eyebrow and brighter, deeper blue upperparts in the male. Female is slightly more grayish than Red-flanked, but this identification can be much more difficult, and females may not be safely separable if not with male. Himalayan’s song is a simple, repeated “tcher-thcew-wee!”. Breeds in submontane forest up to the treeline; descends in the winter, often moving into edge habitats. A frequent sight along forest tracks.

Swainson's Flycatcher
Myiarchus swainsoni
Fairly large gray-brown flycatcher with a long hooked bill and a small crest. Lots of variation in plumage among subspecies, which vary in bill color and in how cold or warm-toned the brown is on the head and back. All subspecies have a pale breast, yellow belly, and a plain brown or dark tail. Found in a variety of woodland and forest edge habitats. Best distinguished from similar flycatchers by its song—“pe-tchew, pe-tchew, prrrr.”
Rosy Starling
Pastor roseus
Adult is unique, a vision in glossy black and pale pink. Juvenile is brown with an orange bill. Breeds in colonies on steppes and winters in open and wooded habitats. Gathers in huge numbers to roost, often mixing with other species at roost sites. Flocking birds keep up a constant cacophony of dry chattering calls.
Biak Leaf Warbler
Phylloscopus misoriensis
A small dull-colored warbler with a greenish upperside, instinct wingbars, a pale throat, and yellowish underparts. Singles, pairs, and small groups inhabit lowland and hill forest, including secondary forest. Often joins mixed-species flocks. Sings a variable high-pitched warble mixed with twittering phrases. The most similar species in its limited range is Biak White-eye, but Biak Leaf Warbler is identified by its more uniformly yellowish underparts. Separated from other small yellowish birds such as flowerpeckers and sunbirds by the shape of the bill.
