Rufous-sided Scrub-Tyrant

Small bird with short, heavy bill. Green above, with a mainly yellow front except for a broad white belly strip. Has a bold black-and-white head pattern. Male has black chin, female dark greenish. Found in southwestern Western Australia. Inhabits eucalypt woodlands particularly those with smooth bark. Songs include a loud clear rising two-part whistle. Formerly treated as one of the geographically isolated subspecies of Crested Shrike-tit.

A boldly patterned helmetshrike of lowland forests, often seen in small vocal groups. The bill is red and the head and chin are overall silvery gray. Has a black neck band and black wings, back, and tail. The chest is white and the belly, vent, and legs are reddish. Similar to the Red-billed Helmetshrike, with which it co-occurs locally in Cameroon, but Rufous-bellied Helmetshrike can be identified by its silvery gray chin and head (including below the eye) and the more extensive reddish coloration on its belly. Calls consist of liquid whistles and repeated grating “chew-two” calls. 

A spectacular chestnut-backed thrush with striking white facial patches, black-and-white wings, and bold pied markings below. Juvenile shows buff streaks on crown and back and buff throat. Terrestrial, feeding on the forest floor singly or in pairs within the lowlands and low hills. Unmistakable within its limited range on islands of Sulawesi and Kabaena. Mournful song is a phrase of several high-pitched whistled notes, “deee-der-doo” or “deee-der.” Calls include “chak” notes and a high-pitched “peep” call.
