Sangihe Whistler

Coracornis sanghirensis

A chunky, dingy-looking, thick-billed songbird. Upperparts dark olive-brown, with a grayish head and a pale buff wash on the underparts. Note the pale bill with a dark tip. A rare species confined to canopy of tall, mature hill forest on Sangihe Island at sites where this habitat persists on ridges. Typically encountered in small groups or pairs. Most similar to Sangihe Golden-Bulbul, but Sangihe Whistler has a bicolored bill and lacks a yellow throat and face. Its loud song consists of around four repeated phrases. Also gives “churr” and sharp “wit” calls.

Rufous-throated Sapphire

Rufous-throated Sapphire

Hylocharis sapphirina

A small hummingbird with a straight red bill with a black tip. Males have a green back with iridescent violet-blue underparts, a coppery tail, and a fluffy white vent. Females have grayish dark underparts with some dark spots on the chest. Note the rufous chin in both sexes, which can be hard to see. Mostly found in humid forests and wooded savannas.

Moustached Puffbird

Moustached Puffbird

Malacoptila mystacalis

This plump brown bird is found in the Andes in Venezuela and Colombia, from the lower foothills up to 2,100 m. Females are darker than males, with a less prominent white mustache. Not many similar species in range; beware White-whiskered Puffbird, which is typically found at lower elevations and shows yellowish (not gray) lower mandible and more streaking on belly. Typically inconspicuous in the lower to middle levels of wet forest, where singles or pairs often sit motionless on a horizontal limb.

Streaky-breasted Spiderhunter

Streaky-breasted Spiderhunter

Arachnothera affinis

Generic-looking spiderhunter, olive-green above with a streaky gray breast. The only spiderhunter on Java with well-defined streaking on dull gray underparts; the only other streaked spiderhunter is Long-billed, which has a much more impressive bill, as well as poorly-defined streaks and a yellow-washed belly. Immatures with unstreaked underparts may be confusing if seen, but general shape and patterning, as well as the presence of an adult, should be helpful. A species of foothill forests, where it forages in forest and forest edge habitats. Gives harsh, noisy chattering calls.
