Slender-billed Oriole

Medium-sized white egret. Breeding adult has bright blue loral skin, a pinkish-orange bill, and long frilly plumes on the head, neck, and back. Nonbreeding adult lack plumes and has dull greenish legs and bill. Nonbreeding birds can be confused with Little Egret, but note Chinese Egret's thicker bill, proportionally stouter legs, orangish base to the bill, and dark lores with a shallow crook between eyes and bill. Light morph of Pacific Reef-Heron may also be similar, but average much thicker-billed and thicker-legged than Chinese. Moves between craggy islands and coastlines when breeding; winters in mangroves, estuaries, and mudflats.

A fairly small, long-tailed bird of forest midstory from the lowlands to the lower mountains. Rufous belly, gray upperparts and crown, white facial markings and dotted wing bars. Forages actively like other fantails, with tail cocked, fanned, wings drooped and often switching from side to side. Often joins mixed flocks. Similar to Northern and Friendly Fantails, but Chestnut-bellied has rufous underparts. It is usually found at lower elevations than Friendly. Song, a long, descending, quavering note.

Small black-and-white bird with a patch of bright red bare skin above the eye. Females have a black hood, and males a white throat and black breast band. Found in forest, thick woodland, and mangroves. Generally local and uncommon. The unmusical song is usually given as a duet: a mix of low-pitched rasping notes and higher bleating notes. Similar to Brown-throated Wattle-eye but never shows white in the wing, and the female has a black rather than brown throat. Separated from batises by the red wattle and lack of white in the wing.
