Tiny Greenbul
Phyllastrephus debilis
A very small, warbler-like greenbul with an olive-green back, pale underparts, a gray cap and nape, and a pale eye. Found in lowland forest and lush woodland. Often joins mixed-species flocks. Very similar to Usambara Greenbul, but found at lower elevations and paler overall, without an olive-green wash to the crown and the back of the head. Similar in overall coloration to Yellow-streaked Greenbul, but much smaller, with a pale eye. The call is a rough chatter that is often mixed with the song: an accelerating, syncopated series of low nasal notes.

The lowland tiny greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda). Until 2009, the montane tiny greenbul was considered as conspecific with the lowland tiny greenbul as the tiny bulbul. Some authorities continue to consider the two species as conspecific.<p>Two subspecies are recognized:

Sharpe's Starling
Pholia sharpii
Small, distinctive starling with a blue-black back, a white throat, and a buff belly. Except in good light, the upperparts usually look black. The pale eye is always distinctive. Uncommon and local in montane forest. Found in the canopy, in pairs or small flocks; often perches up conspicuously on dead snags and other open perches. The call is a sharp “sveet” and the song is a high-pitched tinkling that is distinctive, but quiet and easily ignored. Separated from similar starlings by its pale throat.
Rufous-tailed Palm-Thrush
Cichladusa ruficauda
Rather plain thrush with a rufous tail, brown back, buffy throat, and red eye. Found in woodland and thickets, usually in areas with palms. The pretty song is a variable mix of whistles and scratchy notes, and sometimes incorporates mimicry of other bird species. Somewhat similar to Familiar Chat, but easily separated by its larger size, red eyes, and lack of a black “T” pattern on the tail.
Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon
Treron phoenicopterus
Brightly-colored pigeon with significant regional variation. Look for a gray “shoulder strap” and yellow legs. South Asian birds are the brightest, with an orange-yellow neck and green underparts. Southeast Asian birds have more extensive gray on the underparts. Sexes are similar. Found in lowland forest and forest edge, as well as parks, gardens, and orchards; a common urban bird in much of its South Asian range. Not extremely vocal; occasionally gives cooing whistles.
