Papuan Logrunner
Orthonyx novaeguineae
A medium-sized, ground-dwelling bird of mossy montane forest. Brown streaked back, gray and buff wing bars, and gray face, extending down the sides of the chest. Male has a white throat and chest whereas in the female it is orange, both edged with a black line. Very skulking and hard to see. Forages by scratching the leaf-litter. Not really similar to any other ground-dwelling birds in the mountains. More often heard than see. Song is a very distinctive, descending series of clear, penetrating, whistled notes which sound slightly out of tune.

Rusty-winged Starling
Aplonis zelandica
A rather small, pale grayish-brown starling, paler on Vanikoro, with a smudgy black patch in front of the eye and distinctive rusty wings. Found in forest and secondary growth, especially montane forest. Similar to Polynesian Starling, but paler above, with a dark eye and more uniform wings. Common call is a melodious “zee-twee.”
Stripe-backed Bittern
Botaurus involucris
Very small, striped buffy heron of wetlands and lake edges with dense reeds and rushes. Boldly striped back pattern is distinctive. In flight shows contrasting broad rusty trailing edge to wings. Usually seen as single birds hidden in reeds or making short flights low over reeds or across patches of open water. Clambers easily and stealthily; hunts from perches over water, where sits patiently before stabbing at fish. Mostly silent.
Copperback Quail-thrush
Cinclosoma clarum
Heavily patterned terrestrial bird of Western Australia and western South Australia. White eyebrow and moustache, with deep chestnut brown back and intricately patterned wing. Female has white belly and gray chest, male white belly, gray flanks, and black chest and throat. Note gray sides rather than warm brown sides of Cinnamon and Nullarbor quail-thrushes. Usually seen walking around in areas of open woodland and shrubland. Call is a long, high-pitched whistled "seeeep."
