Brown-rumped Seedeater

Crithagra tristriata

A plain seedeater of the Abyssinian highlands. Note the gray-brown back, the paler underparts, the white eyebrow, and the small white throat. Generally common in a variety of montane habitats including forest edge, woodland, scrub, and gardens. Similar in overall coloration to Reichard’s and Streaky Seedeaters, but easily separated by the plain unstreaked underparts. The simple song consists of repeated scratchy whistles. 

识别特征

Length 13 cm. This is a drab uniform grey-brown canary with a small white supercilium. It has a plain (not streaked or spotted) breast with white under the chin. The uniformity of its drabness means its eponymous 'brown rump' is often not apparent.

Black-crowned Barwing

Black-crowned Barwing

Actinodura sodangorum

The black crown and wingtips of this gray-headed barwing set it apart from other species within its range. Bright white eyering gives it a “goggled” appearance. Found at mid to high elevations, in both dense mature forest as well as in secondary growth and scrubby edges. Forages singly or in pairs, usually at upper levels. Song is a brief series of twittering hoots ending in one or two longer, drawn-out whistles.

Albertine Boubou

Albertine Boubou

Laniarius holomelas

Mid-sized bushshrike that is completely black. Found in the undergrowth of humid forest at higher elevations. A skilled skulker that is most often detected by voice. Notable for its wide variety of vocalizations, which include whistles, explosive notes, frog-like calls, and ratchets. Also does a classic bushshrike duet in which the male sings a rising whistle accompanied by lower rasping notes from the female. Very similar to Willard’s Sooty Boubou, but prefers higher-elevation montane forest and has a dark eye.

Johnson's Tody-Flycatcher

Johnson's Tody-Flycatcher

Poecilotriccus luluae

Small, colorful flycatcher of Peru’s eastern Andes; found mainly in the northern part of the country, but there is at least one isolated population much farther south. Combination of red head, white chin, gray collar, and yellow belly is distinctive. Does not overlap with Rufous-crowned Tody-Flycatcher, which is only found north of the Marañon River. Inhabits dense thickets and bamboo stands at the edge of cloud forest. Song is a series of short rattles, often given as a duet.
