Terek Sandpiper
Xenus cinereus
Unique smallish wader with stumpy bright orange legs and a noticeably upturned bill. Plumage gray overall with white belly, but in flight shows conspicuous white trailing edge to wings. Breeds in valley floodplains in tundra and taiga. In the non-breeding season, occurs singly or in flocks in varied wetland habitats, from fresh marshes to tidal mudflats, and often apart from other shorebirds. Feeds by dashing after insects and also by probing bill in mud, like a mini-godwit.
Black-rumped Buttonquail
Turnix nanus
Small, brownish quail-like bird. Generally rare and elusive species that is unlikely to be seen by those not expressly looking for it. The face is orange, and in flight, a large black rump patch is obvious. Found very locally in moist grassland. Gives a long series of low “hoo” notes. Very similar to Small Buttonquail, but separated by orange face and black rump. Also similar to female quail, but differs in less explosive flight and black rump.
Pale-yellow Robin
Eopsaltria capito
A rotund little robin, olive above, with gray head, yellow underparts, and white around the base of the bill. Perches on low branches and on the side of tree trunks, from which it drops to the ground to capture prey. Similar Eastern Yellow Robin is brighter yellow below and has gray lores. Inhabits rainforests in the wet tropics of far northern Queensland and eastern Australia.
