Rufous Babbler
Argya subrufa
Large rufous-brown babbler with a long tail and white eyes. Pale gray forehead evident if seen well. Not as bold and pugnacious as some of its close relatives; typically forages in dense undergrowth in foothill forest and forest edge, often in wetter areas than Jungle, Common, and Large Gray Babblers. Gives distinctive rising rattle-whistles: “trriIIII! trriiiIII!”
Tuamotu Kingfisher
Todiramphus gambieri
A medium-sized, largely pale kingfisher with a pale whitish buffy neck and head, a variable green crown spot, and white underparts. Has a greenish back and more bluish-purple wings. A thin greenish line extends back from the dark eye. Found in forest, coconut plantations, and gardens. Unique within its range.
Usambara Double-collared Sunbird
Cinnyris usambaricus
A medium-sized sunbird. Males are colorful, green and red, and females drab olive-brownish. Males have yellow shoulder tufts that are usually hidden. Found in montane forest, forest edge, and gardens. Similar to other double-collared sunbirds, but separated by range. Female is plainer than female Banded and Amani Sunbirds, with a longer bill. The calls include “tsik” and “tseet” notes, and the song is a long, rapid jumble.
