Sumatran Babbler
Pellorneum buettikoferi
Exceedingly plain and short-tailed babbler, found in the broadleaf evergreen forests of Sumatra’s lowlands and foothills. Compare with Horsfield’s, Abbott’s, White-breasted, and Short-tailed Babblers; note large pinkish-colored bill and lack of any warm color on the back or sides. Dull, skulky, and generally uncommon, this undergrowth-dweller can be difficult to get a good look at, and is more readily heard than seen. Forages singly and in pairs, typically on or close to the ground. Song is a variable, cheery up-and-down series of notes; in southern parts of the species’ range, singing birds may add a trill at the end of a song. Call is an explosive, rapid chatter.

White-throated Mountain-gem
Lampornis castaneoventris
Medium-sized hummingbird, male mostly green with bold white throat, white line behind eye, and blue crown. Gray tail in the western parts of range, blue in the east. Female not quite as colorful but still striking: bright buffy underparts with black cheek and white line behind eye. She is very similar to female Purple-throated Mountain-gem but has duller bronzy tail; only safely identified with a good view. A forest hummingbird that also comes out to edges and gardens, visits feeders.
Spotless Starling
Sturnus unicolor
Dark purple starling without any spots in summer. Same size and shape as European Starling. In winter can show some restricted pale spotting below but still very uniform. Found in short grassy areas, farms, parks, and gardens. The song is similar to European Starling, including lots of mimicry. Nests in cavities.
Creamy-bellied Thrush
Turdus amaurochalinus
Brownish thrush found commonly in a variety of habitats including forest edges, woodlands, savannas, plantations, urban parks, and gardens. Generally, quite arboreal but can be seen on the ground. Note the yellow bill contrasting with an olive-brown back, pale underparts, and pale streaked throat. Immatures are spotted below. The song is less complex and shorter than Rufous-bellied Thrush.
