Russet-tailed Thrush

Zoothera heinei

Large thrush, adult rich brown marbled with dark marks above, pale with black scaly marks below. Larger Bassian Thrush has smaller-appearing bill, is more contrastingly marked above. In flight, Russet-tailed shows white in tail corners, absent in Bassian. The smaller wingbar has more prominent pale tips in adult Russet-tailed than Bassian. Inhabits wet forests, where it forages in leaf litter. Song a distinctive, thin “whee-doo,” falling in pitch, very unlike Bassian.

Balearic Warbler

Balearic Warbler

Curruca balearica

Only occurs on the Balearic Islands. A dark gray, long-tailed, and big-headed warbler. Red eye ring is distinctive. Differs from Marmora’s Warbler (of which it was formerly treated as a subspecies, and a scarce passage bird in the Balearics) in having buffy flanks and a light gray throat on breeding males. Typically found on scrubby hillsides and rocky coastal scrub, usually avoids woodlands. Primarily forages on the ground. Short song is composed of rattling whistles. Gives low “chrk” call.

Afep Pigeon

Afep Pigeon

Columba unicincta

Large, pale gray pigeon. There is red bare skin around the eye, a reddish wash on the breast, and a pale gray tail band that is conspicuous in flight. Found in rainforest and gallery forest, singly or in small groups. Often seen in flight or perched conspicuously on dead trees. The call is a long series of descending “huuuoooo” calls. Separated from other forest pigeons by overall pale coloration and bold tail band.

Obi Cicadabird

Obi Cicadabird

Edolisoma obiense

Small cuckooshrike with a restricted range, found only on Obi and Bisa Islands, in the central Moluccas. Males are mainly gray with black on the face and wing. Distinctive female is mostly rufous-brown, with unmarked buffy underparts, and a gray cap. Found in forest and forest edge habitats. Vocalizations poorly known, but apparently include a long rattling note. The male is similar to male Pale Cicadabird, but is significantly darker, with a mostly black face. The rufous-brown female is completely different from the pale gray female Pale Cicadabird.
