Olive-headed Weaver
Ploceus olivaceiceps
A localized woodland weaver that has a dusky-olive head and upperparts, and golden-yellow underparts. Brighter male has a golden-yellow crown and more extensive rusty breast patch. Juvenile is much paler. Restricted to mature Miombo woodland where ‘Old Man’s Beard’ Usnea lichen is abundant. Singles and pairs sometimes join mixed-species flocks and forage secretively for insects by creeping along branches like a nuthatch or creeper; does not nest colonially. Not very vocal, but occasionally calls a series of soft high-pitched buzzing notes ‘tzee-twa-twa’.

Chestnut-backed Antbird
Poliocrania exsul
Medium-sized antbird with pale blue facial skin. Look for warm brown back and gray head; males have entirely gray body, females brown. Frequently flicks tail down and slowly raises it back up. Sticks to the understory in mature forest, where it can be difficult to get a clear view. Usually in pairs. Distinctive song: two or three whistles, the last note dropping in pitch.
Brown Firefinch
Lagonosticta nitidula
This is the darkest and dullest firefinch, the only species without a red or pink rump. Both sexes have red in the bill. Males have an extensive red patch on the face, and females just a bit of red. Found in thickets, woodland, and riparian forest adjacent to wetlands. Quiet and inconspicuous. Usually in pairs or small groups. The song is a chattering mix of various types of notes, and calls include soft “tip” notes.
Short-bearded Honeyeater
Melionyx nouhuysi
A long, slender honeyeater of subalpine forest and shrubland in western New Guinea. All sooty gray-black plumage with a long tail and a fairly long, curved bill, 2 white tufts emanating from the base of the bill, and a yellow-orange wattle at the back of the eye. Sometimes some white scaling on the belly. Often seen perching on top of bushes. Similar to Sooty Melidectes, but Short-bearded Melidectes is larger and has a white beard. Gives a long, dry chatter.
