Cinnamon-rumped Seedeater

An unmistakable tiny, multicolored forest kingfisher confined to Sulawesi. Has a large carrot-orange bill, a scaled blue cap, purplish cheeks, a white throat and slash on neck, orange underparts, a purple-tinged rufous-brown back, and a contrasting bright blue rump and tail. Juvenile duller, with a pale-tipped black bill. An inconspicuous inhabitant of lowland forest understory. Unique within range. Gives a quiet, thin, very high-pitched “tseeee” call.

A large, brownish lapwing endowed with yellow wattles that have distinctive fleshy red bases. The juvenile has smaller wattles. Pairs or small groups prefer marshes and wet grasslands, as well as the flooded edges of lakes, pans, and seeps. Also be found in dry savanna, cropped and burnt grasslands, or cultivated fields. It attracts attention to itself with a loud “peep-peep-peep” call. White-crowned Lapwing is similar but is smaller, has a white belly, and lacks the red bases to the wattles.

Dull, medium-sized flycatcher of montane forest. Greenish gray, with dull reddish wings that have weak reddish wing bars. Many individuals have a complete pale whitish eye-ring. Perches upright in the midstory of montane forest, where pairs and individuals may join mixed-species flocks. Compared to the similar Flavescent Flycatcher which overlaps with it in places, Unadorned has a more obvious circular eye-ring (as opposed to more of a black eye-line with a broken eye-ring in Flavescent) and is grayer overall; it is also typically found at lower elevations.
