Rufous-rumped Lark
Pinarocorys erythropygia
A robust, elongated thrush-like lark with a striking rufous rump and outer tail, dark brown upperparts that are lightly scaled, heavily streaked pale underparts, and a boldly marked face. Female has more rufous on the wings. Juvenile is paler with heavily scaled upperparts. Pairs breed from October to April in open broadleaf woodland in a narrow latitudinal band in central Africa, often in recently burnt areas. Small post-breeding flocks disperse north and occupy arid savanna, fields, and other suitable habitat in an unpredictable manner. Pairs or loose flocks walk on the ground foraging for insects and seeds; hundreds may gather in burnt areas. Song, in aerial display, is a whistling “tseeeo-tseeeo.”

Versicolored Barbet
Eubucco versicolor
Brightly colored barbet of montane forest. Males are green with a yellow breast, a red belly band, and a red head; the color of the whisker can be blue or yellow depending on the subspecies. Females have a blue face and a greener body. Both sexes have a pale greenish-yellow bill. Often found singly or in pairs with mixed-species flocks, foraging in the mid-story and canopy of humid forest. Listen for a musical purr with a punctuated introductory note: “PA-prrrrr.”
Garden Warbler
Sylvia borin
Plain brownish warbler, without any striking features—in itself a field mark. Note hint of paler eyering, diffuse gray patch on side of neck, and relatively stubby bill for a warbler. Found in a wide variety of wooded and shrubby habitats, where it is often rather sluggish and easily overlooked. Pleasant, rich warbling song much like a Blackcap song, but tends to be more even-paced and less emphatic. Gives dry “chekchek” calls, often in series, similar to those of Blackcap.
Zebra Finch
Taeniopygia guttata
Small finch with bright orange bill and a distinctive black-and-white “moustache” mark. Adult male gray above, with barred grayish bib, rusty white-spotted flanks, and black-and-white tail pattern. Female smooth gray to buff on the chest and belly; juvenile similar but with a dark gray bill. Inhabits arid inland Australia, where often found in very large flocks.
