Mees's Nightjar
Caprimulgus meesi
A large, long-tailed nightjar from Sumba and Flores. Shows bold white patches in tail and wings in flight. Head pattern striking, with rufous cheeks and an obvious pale moustache. Inhabits forest edge, scrubland, and mangroves, principally in the lowlands, but sometimes in foothills too. Larger and longer-tailed than Savanna Nightjar, with tail extending clearly beyond wingtips when perched. Also note more strikingly-marked head and conspicuous, broad white outer tail tips. Gives an explosive burry “chow-chow” call.

Pearl-breasted Swallow
Hirundo dimidiata
A martin-like swallow with a bicolored plumage pattern of steel-blue upperparts and pale underparts. Pairs or small groups flit low over grassland, scrub, farmland, and open woodland, often near water. It is a migrant to the southern parts of South Africa, but it is resident elsewhere, with some poorly understood movements. The Pearl-breasted Swallow differs from House Martin and Gray-rumped Swallow by having a dark (not pale) rump and pale (not dark) underwings.
Purple-backed Sunbeam
Aglaeactis aliciae
Blotchy hummingbird restricted to a tiny, remote area in the Andes of northern Peru. Plumage is bronzy-brown with irregular white patches on the face, throat, and belly, and white teardrop-shaped spots on breast. Adult male has an iridescent purple and green lower back, but this is indistinct or lacking on females and younger birds.
Chocolate Boobook
Ninox randi
A medium-sized owl of lowland and foothill forest and edge. Dark brown on the upperparts and head, with white underparts thickly streaked with reddish-brown. Face grayish and eyes yellow. Occurs together with several other boobook species, but Chocolate is much larger, with plain brown wings and more demarcated streaking on the chest. Voice is also different: a series of identical, medium-pitched “boop!” notes.
