Babar Whistler
Pachycephala sharpei
A chunky, heavy-billed forest songbird endemic to the island of Babar, located in eastern Indonesia between Timor and the Tanimbar Islands. Male is distinctive, with a black hood, a white throat, bright yellow underside, and dull green upperparts with a golden collar. Females are duller, with a brown head, white throat, yellow underparts, and dull olive-green upperparts. Wallacean Whistler also occurs on Babar, but females of that species are even duller than female Babar Whistlers, lacking the yellow belly. Vocalizations are poorly known, but likely include a bright, whistled song. Formerly treated as a subspecies of the more widespread Yellow-throated Whistler.

White-shouldered Antshrike
Thamnophilus aethiops
Shy antshrike found in understory of lowland and foothill rainforest. Male is dark gray or black; he also has small white dots on the shoulder and a white line at the bend of the wing, but these features are not always evident in the field. Female is plain brown; on the western edge of the range, she also has a black face, throat, and tail. Usually first detected by voice: song is a soft series of evenly spaced, nasal caws.
Gray Teal
Anas gracilis
Plain grayish mottled duck with a rounded crown. Note plain face lacking the bold stripes of Pacific Black Duck. White wing panels are distinctive in flight compared to purple/green of Pacific Black Duck. Told from female Chestnut Teal by the much paler neck/throat. One of the most common ducks in many waterways, forming enormous flocks numbering in the 1000s.
Papyrus Canary
Crithagra koliensis
This canary is typical in its appearance but unusual in its papyrus-dwelling habits. The male and female are similar but the male is more boldly marked, especially on the face. Found in papyrus swamp and adjacent habitats. Uncommon and inconspicuous. The song is a complex mix of quiet twitters and whistles. Similar to Western Citril, but separated by the lack of a yellow eyebrow. Extremely similar to Southern Citril, and best separated by the more bulging, pinkish bill.
