Gray-sided Bush Warbler

Cettia brunnifrons

Small brown bush warbler with a bright rufous crown, gray belly, and striking pale eyebrow. Frosty-pale throat contrasts with darker neck and breast. Paler gray upperparts, cleaner-looking white eyebrow, and smaller size distinguish this species from Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler. Other brown bush warblers are smaller or duller, lacking the rufous crown. Gray-sided is generally fairly skulking, foraging in or on the ground in dense vegetation, but occasionally emerges out into the open, particularly to sing. Breeds in forest edges, clearings, and open shrubby areas in montane areas up to the treeline; winters in bushy edge areas in lower foothills. Song is a brief spurt of tinkling high-pitched notes followed by a buzzy whine. Call notes are high-pitched “tseep” and “tzzi” notes.

Ashy Cisticola

Ashy Cisticola

Cisticola cinereolus

A large, long-tailed, streak-backed upland cisticola. Note the lack of rufous or rich brown in the plumage, and also the pale tips to the tail. Found in dry thorn savanna and thornscrub. Similar to other cisticolas, especially Rattling, Tana River, and Boran, but identified by its song and by the absence of rufous or brown on the cap. Often sits on top of bushes and trees to sing. Song is a short musical whistled phrase, usually with a downward pitch trend, but sometimes trending upward. Much more musical than the song of Boran Cisticola, often with more variation in pitch. The calls are high-pitched squeaks. 

White-bibbed Babbler

White-bibbed Babbler

Stachyris thoracica

Handsome and well-named large babbler with a snow-white “bib.” Also note blue facial skin and bright chestnut back. Crown is brownish on birds from western Java, and grayish on those from central and eastern Java. Despite large size and bright colors, can be quite skulky and difficult to see well. Hops and clambers about in dense bushes and vines in foothill forests, typically in mid-sized groups, giving dry churring rattles. Also gives a short, fluty-sounding whistle.

White-winged Magpie

White-winged Magpie

Urocissa whiteheadi

Odd-looking and poorly understood magpie with bright white patches on its wings and strongly graduated tail. Dark brown overall with a heavy orange bill and pale belly. Travels in flocks of its own species, seldom mixing with others. Gives a hoarse, rolling squawk when communicating with others of its kind. Unlike other blue magpies, does not regularly stray into parks and gardens.
