Congo Sunbird
Cinnyris congensis
A slim, long-billed sunbird in which males and females are very different. Males are mostly black and dark green, with a red band across the underparts and extremely elongated central tail feathers. Females are very plain, gray-brown above and paler below. A localized and poorly known species that is found in rainforest along the banks of large rivers. Similar to Orange-tufted Sunbird, but male has a red rather than purple breast band and an elongated central tail, and the female is even plainer. The female is also similar to female Green Sunbird, but is longer-billed. The voice is unknown.

White-bellied Seedeater
Sporophila leucoptera
Small finchlike bird with a short but very strong bill. Males are gray above (black in Bolivia) and white or grayish below with a white patch on the wings. Note the yellow bill. Females are brown above with a paler belly and a dark bill. Found in grasslands with scattered bushes.
Comoro Thrush
Turdus bewsheri
A typical thrush in shape and size, but with unusual brown coloration. Varies significantly across the three islands where it occurs, and these populations may be full species. The Grand Comoro birds have plain pale brown underparts, the Moheli birds have darker blotching below, and the distinctive Anjouan birds are scaled on the underparts. Found in humid forest, secondary habitats, and plantations, mostly at higher elevations, though down to sea level in some places. The song is a typical thrush mix of whistles and quavering notes, whose exact structure varies on the different islands. Also gives “pik” notes, short trills, and a high-pitched “seet.”
Fulvous Wren
Cinnycerthia fulva
Reddish-brown wren with a faint pale eyebrow found in the understory of humid montane forest. Larger and longer-tailed than the tiny Mountain Wren, which also has a bolder eyebrow. Replaced at the northern end of its range by the very similar Peruvian Wren. Forages singly or in pairs low in bushes and near the ground. Listen for its loud song, a flowing series of whistles and trills.
