Drab Water Tyrant
Ochthornis littoralis
Small, well-named flycatcher of lowland rivers. Plain tan plumage with cream-colored eyebrow and dark tail. Found exclusively along the edges of rivers and lakes, often encountered in pairs. Flits short distances along the river banks, hugging the shoreline. Similar to Little Ground-Tyrant, which has a lighter belly, white tail edges, and more upright posture unlike Drab Water Tyrant.

Fawn-breasted Tanager
Pipraeidea melanonota
Small sleek tanager with distinctive color pattern: pale sandy underparts with peachy blush on breast, black mask, powdery-blue crown, and darker blue back and wings. Sexes alike. Uncommon in second growth, edges, and gardens, where it is most often seen singly or in pairs. Occasionally follows mixed-species flocks. Found from foothills to upper subtropical zone in Andes, sometimes straying even higher. Populations in southeastern South America occur at lower elevations.
Somali Crow
Corvus edithae
An entirely black crow with a fairly thick, raven-like bill. Found in a variety of dry country habitats, including savanna, thornscrub, desert, towns, and cultivated areas. Often in small flocks. Similar to Fan-tailed Raven, but has a different shape, especially in flight, with a much longer tail. Very similar to Brown-necked Raven, but smaller, and there is little overlap in range. Typical birds look very different from Pied Crow, but these two species sometimes hybridize, producing birds with white blotching on the back and underparts. The calls are typical rough cawing notes.
Golden-crowned Babbler
Sterrhoptilus dennistouni
A fairly small bird of lowland and foothill forest, open wooded areas with developed understory, bamboo, and tall grass. Has a gray back and cheek with fine pale streaks, dark wings and tail with white outer tail feathers, white underparts, and a yellow throat and crown. Note the slender black bill. Often joins mixed-species flocks. Somewhat similar to female Mugimaki Flycatcher, but differs in behavior and in its yellow crown. Gives soft “whip” calls while feeding.
