Silver-crowned Friarbird
Philemon argenticeps
Large gray honeyeater with pale gray cap, bare black facial skin, and a small but prominent "horn" on the long, pointed, black bill. This species has gray-brown upperparts and dull white underparts; the feathers on the back of the head are paler than those on the back. Take care to distinguish from Helmeted Friarbird (which is browner overall with a rounded upper rear edge to the facial skin). Found in a variety of drier woodland habitats across the Kimberley and the Top End of the Northern Territory. Also found on Cape York in Queensland but not expected in the Cairns/Atherton area. Typically very loud, with a variety of harsh, loud squawks.

Northern Black-Flycatcher
Melaenornis edolioides
A slim, long-tailed all-black flycatcher with a dark eye. Found in savanna, woodland, and cultivated areas. Single birds or pairs sit out on conspicuous perches, sometimes quite low. Very similar to Southern Black-Flycatcher, but there is virtually no overlap in range, and Northern lacks gloss in the black plumage. Distinguished from drongos by the slimmer bill and dark brown eye. Could be confused with certain black cuckooshrikes or boubous, but has a more vertical posture, and sits motionless for much longer periods. Not very vocal, but does have a pretty song of various trills, wheezes, and whistles given with long pauses between phrases.
Red-thighed Sparrowhawk
Tachyspiza erythropus
A small sparrowhawk of lowland forests in West and Central Africa, about the size of a large pigeon. Look for this species’ white rump and dark blackish head, back, and tail. From below, this species always has a bright white throat and variably reddish underparts that can sometimes be barred. Blunt, rounded wings and a slightly long tail give it a similar shape to the Red-chested Sparrowhawk, but note this species' small size and extremely dark upperparts.
Yellow-bellied Bulbul
Alophoixus phaeocephalus
Colorful and easily recognizable, this attractive bulbul has a bright lemon-yellow belly, snow-white throat, bluish-gray head, and greenish upperparts. Lack of a crest distinguishes it from other similarly-colored bulbuls within its range. Found in lowland and hill forest, often in mixed flocks. Calls are coarse and dry-sounding.
