Brown Oriole
Oriolus szalayi
A brown oriole with a darker head and cheeks, a dull orange bill, and extensively streaked pale underparts. Juveniles show a pale eyebrow and dark bill. Singles and pairs can be found in the canopy of a variety of habitats in both lowlands and foothills, including forest, mangroves, plantations, and scrubland. Told from Streak-headed Honeyeater by red bill and lack of white moustache, from female figbird by red bill, and from Olive-backed Oriole by contrastingly dark-headed appearance and duller background coloration of underparts. Loud, fluty, friarbird-like calls include “chik-choo-wer” and “du-hoo-du-hoo,” descending on the latter notes. Known to imitate other species.

Cardinal Myzomela
Myzomela cardinalis
A small, strikingly plumaged myzomela with a bright crimson red head, back, and rump and black wings, belly, chest, and tail. Thin bill decurved. Female mostly dark reddish, with darker ruddy brownish coloration where male would be black. Seems to prefer forest habitats, but widespread. Unique coloration of both sexes should identify this species with certainty. Vocally shy. Common call is a repeated high-pitched, insect-like “tseet.”
Yellow-bibbed Fruit-Dove
Ptilinopus solomonensis
A spectacular fruit-dove with a large, bright banana yellow patch on its chest and a hot pink patch on its chest and forehead. Otherwise mostly green, aside from yellow undertail. Appears to be more common on smaller atolls. Juvenile resembles the juvenile of Claret-breasted Fruit-Dove, but has yellow barring on the chest instead of a dull claret breast patch. Call is typically a long series of “woot” notes accelerating over time.
White-chinned Jacamar
Galbula tombacea
Similar to many other species of jacamar: mostly glittering emerald-green with a rufous belly, long tail, and long pointed bill. Sexes are similar; female has a paler belly. Found in northwestern Amazonia, where pairs occur in the lower to mid-levels of mature lowland forest, often around water. Namesake white chin is not super conspicuous but usually visible. Also note brownish crown. Most similar to Bluish-fronted Jacamar, but apparently no range overlap.
