Dusky Tetraka
Crossleyia tenebrosa
Extremely rare and enigmatic tetraka. Dark olive-green overall, with a pale yellowish throat and ring around the eye. Chunky and short-tailed. Madagascar endemic that is known from a handful of sites in the northeastern rainforest at middle and low elevations. Inhabits the ground and understory and acts much like Yellow-browed Oxylabes, but lacks that species’ bold eyebrow. Shorter-tailed than Spectacled Tetraka, with a duller eye-ring. Call is a very high, thin “seet” given singly or in a quick series.
