Fluffy-backed Tit-Babbler
Macronus ptilosus
Unfortunately, like many other birds named for back characteristics, the fluffiness of this babbler’s upperparts are not typically visible. It is nonetheless a handsome and attractive bird, with a chestnut crown, a jet-black throat, and electric blue skin patches on the face and neck. Forages in dense lower levels of vegetation in lowland and hill forests. Vocalizations are variable; most commonly heard is a quiet hooting series of around 4–5 notes. Calls include harsh churrs, rattles, and croaks.

Golden Masked-Owl
Tyto aurantia
A little-known golden-buff barn-owl from New Britain. Note the dark heart-shaped border to the rich buff face. Underparts golden-buff with bold dark spots. Crown, nape, and upperparts darker, heavily blotched with black markings, buff areas, and white spotting. Inhabits forests both in lowlands and hills, but also recorded from plantations. Barn Owl also occurs, but note Golden Masked-Owl’s significantly darker upperside, golden-buff coloration, and bold spotting underneath. Vocalizations not confirmed, but wheezes, a long rising whistle, and a “ka-ka” have been reported.
Rarotonga Monarch
Pomarea dimidiata
A thick-set flycatcher with bicolored plumage, dark above and white below. Body darker than grayish head. White of underparts often extends above the bill base. Juvenile entirely rufous; while gaining dark feathers, can look messy and mottled. Found in native forest, often in undergrowth, especially in small wet steep valleys. Voice reportedly a raucous, chattering “ter whik whik whik.”
Eurasian Curlew
Numenius arquata
Scimitar-billed large shorebird of varied open habitats. Note large size, overall brown plumage, and long, decurved bill (appreciably shorter on juvenile). In flight shows white back patch, mostly white underwings. Common call an onomatopoeic "coor-lee." Compare to smaller Whimbrel, which has head stripes, a piping whistled call, and Far Eastern Curlew, which has a buffy rump and extensively marked underwings. Breeds mainly in grasslands, from coastal marshes to upland moors; winters mainly in coastal lowlands, especially mudflats and adjacent marshes.
