Blue-shouldered Robin-Chat

Cossypha cyanocampter

A colorful robin-chat of humid forest habitats. The head is strikingly patterned, with a black cap and cheek, a white eyebrow, and an orange throat. The shoulder has a pale blue patch that can be largely or completely obscured. The tail has a dark center and broad orange sides. Found in the understory of various types of forest at low and middle elevations, including rainforest, gallery forest, and secondary forest. Similar to White-browed Robin-Chat, though generally found in more forested environments. Separated by the blue shoulder and the different and far more variable song. The song is a complex, variable, and musical mix of whistles and many other types of notes that usually also includes imitations of other birds.

Bornean Stubtail

Bornean Stubtail

Urosphena whiteheadi

Minute, ground-dwelling warbler of Borneo’s central mountain ranges. Scurries about like a rodent in the undergrowth, where it can be difficult to see well; note bright orangish brow stripe, brown back, and gray sides. Very short tail and long bill give it a “cute”, top-heavy appearance. Can be quite inquisitive, frequently coming in quite close to an observer. Listen for its incredibly high thin three-note song: “tzin-tzin-tziiiiiinn”.

Purple-backed Thornbill

Purple-backed Thornbill

Ramphomicron microrhynchum

Small hummingbird with an extremely short, straight bill. Males are unmistakable: brilliant purple above and green below. Females are green above and whitish below with dense green spotting, especially on the flanks. Both sexes have a fairly long, notched tail. Occurs in the Andes from western Venezuela to Peru. Usually seen singly in the canopy or borders of humid elfin forest near treeline, though can gather in larger numbers at flowering trees. Also ventures into páramo; occasionally descends to lower elevations in the dry season. Seasonal movements are not understood.

Brown-hooded Kingfisher

Brown-hooded Kingfisher

Halcyon albiventris

A medium-sized woodland-dwelling kingfisher with a blue tail and flight feathers, dark brown back and shoulders, gray-brown streaked head, and dark-tipped reddish bill. In flight it has distinctive cinnamon underwings. Singles and pairs inhabit woodland, riverine forest, forest edges, and cultivation. Calls a short descending “ki-ti-ti-ti-it”. Gray-headed Kingfisher is similar but has a chestnut belly, grayer head and dark, and white-and-rufous (not all rufous) underwings in flight.
