Yellow-streaked Greenbul

A striking finch with a black hood, light brown collar, extensively barred white underside, and pale barred rump. Juveniles duller, brown above and buffy below, lacking bars. Singles to small groups inhabit open country in lowlands and foothills, including croplands, scrub, grassy areas, and woodland edge. Terrestrial, but perches in trees and bushes too. Adult differs from Scaly-breasted Munia in black hood and pale rump. Juvenile has a smaller bill than immature Five-colored Munia. Gives high-pitched, buzzy “krrit” calls, like a tiny tin horn.

Large dark pigeon of forest interior. Overall purplish-gray, slightly darker and browner on wings. Pale eye. Sexes alike. Note plainer appearance and longer tail than many other doves and pigeons. Most similar to Ruddy Pigeon but plumage grayer (not reddish) and eye paler. Usually quite secretive, staying in the canopy where singles or pairs feed on fruits. Found from lowlands into subtropical zone, up to 2,300 m (7,500 ft). More often heard than seen; listen for the cooing “who-cooks-for-you” song with the last two notes drawn out.

A medium-sized bird of lowland and foothill forest floor, often in rocky areas. Fairly stout of body and bill, with long legs and large feet. Pale below with a grayish band across the chest and brown under the base of the tail. Note white throat, brown upperparts with two dotted white wingbars, rufous edging to the wing and tail feathers, and thin black moustache stripe. Unmistakable. Song consists of a very high-pitched “tseeeep soo tseeeep!”
