Arfak Catbird
Ailuroedus arfakianus
A large, chunky, skulking bird of foothill and lower montane forest on the Bird’s Head. Black on the rear crown, cheek and back of the neck, interspersed with off-white flecking and a large white crescent behind the cheek. Black throat and chest patterned with neat arrowheads blending to diffuse spots on the belly. Often feeds on fallen fruits on the ground. May overlap with White-eared Catbird, but Arfak is usually found at higher elevation, is larger and has a distinctive black cheek. Call, a tuneless up and down, catlike warble.

Buru Oriole
Oriolus bouroensis
A large gray-brown oriole with a straight, heavy bill. Main field mark is an ill-defined dark mask on the feathered face. Underparts paler than upperside. Juveniles display rufous-edged wings. Singles or pairs can be found in forest, forest edge, mangroves, and woodlands in lowlands and foothills. Similar to Buru Friarbird, but dark facial area is feathered, not bare; bill shape is thick and straight; and tail is shorter. Variable song consists of around three fluty notes, often rising and loudest on final note: “ku-wuWOOO.”
Gray-headed Bulbul
Microtarsus priocephalus
Perpetually surprised-looking bulbul. Predominantly olive-yellow with a gray head, yellow forehead, and silvery rump and tail. Look for this species in wet forest and forest edge in lowland and foothill areas; gleans food from all levels of forest. Most common call is a loud buzzy “dzzzz!”
Bougainville Island-Thrush
Turdus bougainvillei
Poorly-known and seldom-seen thrush endemic to Bougainville, in the northwestern Solomons, where it inhabits montane forests. Dark overall, with orange bill, eyering, legs, and feet. Behavior poorly-known, but like other Island-Thrushes, likely forages at all levels of forest, especially on the ground. Vocalizations are poorly understood.
