Hartlaub's Bustard
Lissotis hartlaubii
A medium-sized, long-legged, long-necked bustard. The male has a striking black face pattern and a black line down the neck that connects to the black belly. The female is much plainer. In flight, shows a mostly white wing and a black rump. An uncommon species of grassland and savanna. Male is similar to male Black-bellied Bustard, but separated by blacker face with a cleaner white mark on the cheek. Females are very similar, but Hartlaub’s has a pale line down the faintly speckled neck. In flight, Hartlaub’s also shows less black in the wing and a black rump. The male Hartlaub’s gives a click, a pop, and a moan, which sometimes precede a display flight in which he jumps up into the air and then parachutes down.
识别特征
At 60 cm (24 in), they are larger than the similar Black-bellied bustard but greyer and more clearly marked in face, and the lower back with blackish tail. They have a small head set on a long neck, and a bulky body with large legs. The female is similar in appearance to the male, but with a cream-coloured head and hind neck with dark brown markings, a whitish belly and paler tail.

White-fronted Plover
Anarhynchus marginatus
Plain, pale plover that is sandy on the back and white below. Preferred habitat is sandy beach, a habitat not favored by most other shorebirds, though also uses mudflats, riverbanks, and other wetlands. Generally common along the coast, and only occurs very locally inland. Smaller than sand-plovers in non-breeding plumage, with a white collar. Much smaller than Caspian Plover. Plainer face than Kittlitz’s Plover. Short, straight, thick plover bill separates White-fronted Plover from all sandpipers.
Yellow-throated Flycatcher
Conopias parvus
Medium-sized, active flycatcher of forest canopy; often observed on the periphery of mixed-species flocks. When seen well, note entirely yellow underparts, including throat. Found in a variety of lowland forest types, including tall rainforest and low-stature forests on sandy soils. Forages actively, almost always in small groups; often sits on top of large leaf clusters on outer branches. Similar to several other kiskadee-like flycatchers, but behavior and voice are quite different. Quite vocal; often-heard call is a distinctive hollow rattle with a purring quality.
Torrent Tyrannulet
Serpophaga cinerea
Unique small gray flycatcher found exclusively along fast-moving rivers and streams. Often perches on rocks in the middle of a waterway, but also along the edge. Plumage is also unlike any other flycatcher; pale gray overall with diffuse black cap and black wings and tail. Sexes similar. Pumps tail.
