Visayan Babbler
Sterrhoptilus nigrocapitatus
A fairly small bird of lowland and foothill forest and edge; endemic to Samar, Leyte, and Bohol, though lumped with Calabarzon Babbler under “Black-crowned Babbler” by some taxonomies. Has a gray back and cheek with fine pale streaks, dark wings and tail with white outer tail feathers, white underparts, a pale rufous throat, and a black crown. Note the slender black bill. Often joins mixed-species flocks and sometimes hangs upside down while feeding. Somewhat similar to Green-backed Whistler, especially from below, but smaller, with a pale rufous throat and a black crown. Voice includes a medium-pitched “poo piuu!” with the second note downslurred.

Cardinal Lory
Chalcopsitta cardinalis
A thick-bodied, long-tailed parrot with entirely red plumage. The head appears slightly brighter than the body. Widespread in most habitats up to around 1200 meters of elevation. Unlikely to be misidentified due to its unique entirely red coloration. Most common call is a high-pitched rising “tsleet!”
Choco Tinamou
Crypturellus kerriae
A rare and poorly known chickenlike bird restricted to remote areas in extreme southeast Panama and northwest Colombia. Like other forest-based tinamous, this species walks on the ground and is very difficult to see. Occurs in mature foothill forests up to around 1,500 m. Dark brown overall with a blackish head, a slightly paler throat, and some darker barring on the belly and back. Legs reddish. Listen for its low mournful whistle that rises slightly at the end.
Large Fig-Parrot
Cyclopsitta desmarestii
A medium-sized, chunky parrot of forest from the lowlands to the mid-mountains. Reddish forehead, orange crown, yellow cheek and blue or purple band across the chest. Races differ and considered separate species by some. Similar-sized Edward’s & Salvadori’s Fig-Parrots not thought to co-occur, but Large Fig-Parrot has an orange rather than green crown. Somewhat similar to Double-eyed Fig-Parrot, but Large Fig-Parrot is larger and has yellow-orange cheek and a breast band. Fairly vocal. Call, a sharp, loud “tshek!” or sharp, slurred phrase sounding like a rusty-hinged door.
