Montane Double-collared Sunbird
Cinnyris ludovicensis
A medium-sized typical ‘double-collared’ sunbird with a long bill. Male has a very broad red breast band, bluish-violet rump patch, and a dusky belly. Female is dull gray-brown. Pairs and singles are common but extremely local in highland forests and thicket edges, restricted to distinct regions that perhaps represent three separate species: the Angolan scarp; Nyika Plateau of Malawi; and the Eastern Arc, Tanzania. Larger, with a broader red breast band on the male, than either Eastern Miombo or Forest Double-collared sunbirds; the latter also has an olive (not dusky) belly. Has a typical jumbled sunbird song.

White-browed Purpletuft
Iodopleura isabellae
Attractive, small, chocolate brown-and-white bird of lowland rainforest. Bold facial pattern is distinctive; purple tufts on the flanks are often hidden, but diagnostic when visible. Usually perches singly or in pairs high up in the forest canopy, and can be easiest to see around the edges of forest clearings. Fairly quiet, usually giving only high, unobtrusive “seet” notes.
Morelet's Seedeater
Sporophila morelleti
Fairly common little bird of grassland and weedy areas in the tropical lowlands and foothills. Occurs from Texas to Panama. Often in flocks, mixing readily with other “weed-eating” small birds. Plumage is very variable, but all birds have a stubby dark bill with a curved culmen. Usually shows two whitish wingbars. Breeding plumage males with a black cap and bold white collar are usually outnumbered by female-plumaged birds, which are plain brownish, sometimes showing buffy wingbars.
Syrian Serin
Serinus syriacus
A small and elegant finch. More elongated than European Serin and much plainer. Note the unstreaked underparts and green wing coverts. Adults have a yellow face while young are browner. Call is a high-pitched trill, more buzzing than European Serin. Breeds in open woodland and scrub on rocky slopes of high mountains. In winter descends to arid and semi-arid habitats.
