Sao Tome Weaver
Ploceus sanctithomae
A medium-sized weaver with white wingbars, endemic to São Tomé. Sexes look quite different: the male has olive-brown upperparts and a burnt-orange face and upper breast, while the female is more washed-out dull brown above and buff-white below. Found in pairs and small to large flocks that forage by themselves or with other species in any environment with trees, where they feed like nuthatches by clinging to branches and probing leaves, holes, and epiphytes in search of food. The warbler-like song starts with 4–5 clear high-pitched “steeeut” notes before accelerating into a strident trill; a common call is a sharp “chwet.” Other weavers on São Tomé lack wing bars.

Zimmer's Tapaculo
Scytalopus zimmeri
Distinctive tapaculo of humid montane forest adjacent to treeline and Polylepis forest in the high Andes in NW Argentina and S Bolivia. Striking white throat distinctive from other tapaculos except White-browed, from which it differs by voice and gray (not brown) hind crown. Generally observed in the open more than other tapaculos, often perching on rocks and ground-level vegetation. Song a quick series two dry notes spaced out, then 3-4 quick dry notes: “pik-pik pr-tr-tr”.
Gray-headed Robin
Heteromyias cinereifrons
Large, plump robin of montane rainforest. Both sexes olive brown above, with gray crown and breast, stark white throat, and white wing patch, prominent in flight. Upright stance, large size, intricate plumage, and pale pink legs distinctive. Usually feeds on or near the ground in rainforest of far northern Queensland.
Western Black-headed Oriole
Oriolus brachyrynchus
An Old World oriole with mostly yellow plumage, a black hood, and a red bill. Note the fairly plain olive-and-black wing with a small white patch along the front edge. Found in rainforest canopy at low and middle elevations. Similar to Black-winged Oriole and found in the same habitat, but distinguished by the olive-green rather than black center of the tail and by the white patch on the wing. Also similar to African Black-headed Oriole, but usually separated by habitat and range. Further distinguished by the wing pattern, which is plainer, without bold white feather edgings.
