Olive-capped Coua
Coua olivaceiceps
Long-tailed, long-legged understory bird with a brownish-green cap. Found in spiny forest at low elevations in southwestern Madagascar. Sometimes uses degraded forest. Rather shy, and quickly walks away from any disturbance. Most common calls are an explosive, ascending series of whistles and a low-pitched “hoo-hoo-hoo”. Similar to Running Coua, but has longer tail and legs, and lacks the pink facial skin of Running. Smaller than Giant Coua, without its rufous belly and pink facial skin.

Pied Falconet
Microhierax melanoleucos
Ridiculously adorable panda-faced raptor, usually found in extended family groups ranging in size from 4 to 20. Perches on exposed snags, sallying forth to catch prey; capable of taking passerines only slightly smaller than it is. Black above and white below, with a white face and a thick black stripe extending down behind the eye. Flight is fluttery but fast; black barring on the wings and tail is only visible in flight, as is a thick black streak on the armpit, reminiscent of Black-bellied Plover.
Gray-bellied Shrike-Tyrant
Agriornis micropterus
Large but rather plain and often local flycatcher of semiopen and open scrubby habitats in drier regions of the Andes and Patagonia. Perches prominently atop bushes, trees, and wires. Runs well on ground, chasing down small lizards and other prey. Distinguished by overall drab plumage with grayish belly and vent, blackish tail, and stout bill. Compare with Great Shrike-Tyrant, which has limited range overlap.
Helmeted Manakin
Chiroxiphia galeata
Males are striking with a mostly glossy black body, but with a red forehead, crest, and back. Females are uniformly olive-green and also crested. Locally common in gallery forests embedded in savannas where it often accompanies mixed-species flocks. The song is a trilling series of alternately soft and loud whistles.
