Sharpe's Akalat
Sheppardia sharpei
Small, fairly plain, brown-and-orange robin-like bird. The tail is uniformly rufous-brown and the face shows a pale-gray eyebrow. Found locally in the understory of montane forest. Very shy and inconspicuous. The song is a quick, tripping series of high whistles. Also gives an alternating series of high-pitched piping notes and low-pitched scolding trills. Similar in size, shape, and behavior to Iringa and Usambara Akalats, but distinguished by orange underparts.

Ochre-rumped Antbird
Drymophila ochropyga
Medium-sized antbird with a long tail. Found in the understory of montane forests with bamboo. Note the white-tipped black tail with a rufous-orange rump and vent. Males have a black crown and a well-marked face with a black line running through the eyes, a long white eyebrow, and a heavily streaked breast. Females are duller with a buff streaked crown and a gray-brown back.
Sooty Shrikethrush
Colluricincla tenebrosa
A little-known, medium-sized bird of mid-montane forest thickets. Overall deep, sooty-brown color. Perches for long periods, scanning for insects. Skulking and difficult to see. Similar to Black Pitohui, and somewhere between the color of the black male and brown female, but Sooty Shrikethrush is smaller. Similar size various species of the Little Shrike-Thrush complex, but darker and found at higher elevation. Voice is little known, but apparently gives a loud, metallic alarm call.
Congo Peacock
Afropavo congensis
An amazing and distinctive red-throated and green-backed pheasant with different-looking sexes: male is blue-black below with a white crest, and female has russet underparts and crest. Africa’s only pheasant, unlikely to be confused with other birds. Very rare, skittish, and seldom seen, restricted to the central Congo Basin of Democratic Republic of Congo, which is difficult to access. Pairs duet, often at night, with a “goway-gowaa” and also a guttural “kuw-kuw” contact call.
