Tanimbar Monarch
Carterornis castus
A striking black-and-white songbird with diagnostic bold white markings on the black face and a broad white panel in the black wings. Outer tail feathers white, and underparts white except for black throat. Female shows more extensive white facial markings and a rose flush to breast. Singles or pairs can be found high in forests of the lowlands and foothills, regularly joining mixed-species flocks. Unique within range in Tanimbar Islands. Song is a stuttering, rising “w’w’witcheuwit.” Also gives a shorter “witcheu” and characteristic monarch rasping calls, “grrrt-grrrt.”

Canary Flyrobin
Devioeca papuana
A small bird of montane forest interior. Olive-green upperparts, yellow underparts, black bill and orange legs. Sallies for insects in the midstory but can also hop around flicking wings and fanning its tail. Somewhat similar to Yellow-legged Flycatcher and White-faced Robin, but Papuan Flycatcher occurs at higher elevation and lacks any white on the face or throat. Voice, a high-pitch, jumbled song or a simple “chip”.
Ochre-fronted Antpitta
Grallaricula ochraceifrons
Small, streaky antpitta found only in a small area of the eastern Andes in northern Peru. Note the strongly marked underparts and the white mustache. Male has a chestnut face and forehead; female lacks this and has a much thicker eye-ring. Inhabits the understory of epiphyte-laden cloud forest. Unlike most larger antpittas, it is usually seen on a low perch and only occasionally comes down to the ground. Visits a feeder in at least one private reserve. Song is a short, high-pitched whistle given about every 10 seconds.
Cream-throated White-eye
Zosterops atriceps
A tiny warbler-like songbird with a pale eye-ring. Greenish above and grayish-white below with a yellow undertail and variable amounts of black on the front of the head. Singles, pairs, or groups inhabit forest, edge, and cultivated areas in lowlands and hills. Confined to Halmahera, Obi, and Bacan. Separated from Warbling White-eye by whitish or gray underparts. Gives a high-pitched twittering song, characteristic of white-eyes.
