Angola Greenbul
Phyllastrephus viridiceps
A small, relatively long-billed greenbul found in the understory of disturbed rainforest and along forest edge in northwestern Angola. Yellowish underparts contrast with gray-green back and wings and paler yellowish throat. Has pale eyes and a gray-green face. Occurs with many other similarly colored greenbuls, but note Angola Greenbul’s long bill and pale throat that contrasts with the breast and face. Gives a cheerful three-part song, as well as a variety of scolding vocalizations.

Red-pate Cisticola
Cisticola ruficeps
A small but strong-billed cisticola that is rich gray-brown on the back and pale below. The back is plain in breeding plumage and heavily streaked in the non-breeding season. Note the black band and pale tips across the end of the tail. Found locally in savanna and dry woodland. Very similar to Dorst’s Cisticola, and best distinguished by song, but has a brighter rufous cap and whiter underparts. Also similar to Foxy and Rufous Cisticolas, but larger, with a rufous cap that contrasts with the gray-brown back. Perches up to sing a brief squeaky warbled phrase, thin and high-pitched.
Seychelles Magpie-Robin
Copsychus sechellarum
A large and distinctive magpie-robin of the granitic Seychelles islands. Black with a large white shoulder patch. In good light, the black plumage looks glossy purple or bluish. Found in woodland, gardens, and coastal forest. Formerly widespread, but now endangered and restricted to just a few islands. The song is a slow series of musical whistles; sometimes also includes harsher notes and imitations.
