Fraser's Sunbird
Deleornis fraseri
A sunbird masquerading as a warbler, this medium-sized sunbird of forest and forest edge is often found in small groups or mixed-species flocks searching the understory deliberately for insects. Overall yellow-green with more olive tones to the head. Has distinctive pale spectacles around its eye and a large, slightly decurved bill. Could be confused with longbills, but note Fraser’s Sunbird’s decurved bill and noticeable spectacles around the eyes. Calls include a short, dry “tiktiktik!” The song is a longer set of sunbird-like notes with noticeable pauses in between, varying in quality from clear whistles to trills: “dree, djier, drtil, drtil.”

Dark-backed Weaver
Ploceus bicolor
An atypical and distinctive weaver. Shows a dark back, yellow underparts, and a pale bill. There is geographical variation: some populations show a dark gray back, while others are black, and the throat varies from yellow to gray-spotted to black. Found in forest and thick woodland, including miombo. Usually in pairs; rarely in flocks. The distinctive song is a syncopated mix of very different call types, usually given as a duet. Other forest-dwelling weavers are somewhat similar but always show greenish tones on their backs and/or rufous tones on their underparts.
Outcrop Sabrewing
Campylopterus calcirupicola
Large, rather drab hummingbird, green above and light gray below. Note the white spot behind the eye. Occurs at high elevations in deciduous dry forests on outcrops of limestone. Very similar to Gray-breasted Sabrewing, but ranges do not overlap.
Black-eared Cuckoo
Chalcites osculans
Small plain cuckoo with a dark eye and black "ears." Inhabits dry woodlands, typically in arid regions. Usually solitary, shy, and most easily located when calling. Plain gray upperparts, pale underparts, with faint barring on undertail. Loud, piercing call descends in pitch, sounding somewhat sad, a repeated "fweeeew-fweeeeew-fweeeew."
