Gray-throated Sunbird
Anthreptes griseigularis
A small bird of lowland wooded areas with a fairly long, slightly curved, stout bill and yellow underparts. Male has a pale gray throat, a dark reddish cheek and wing patch, a purplish-blue forehead and shoulder, and bottle green on the sides of the throat, the back of the neck, and the crown. Female is fairly drab, with a grayish-brown head and an olive-green back and rump. Male unmistakable. Female similar to several other species, but larger, with a broader bill. Voice not well known, but probably gives a loud “whip!” similar to Brown-throated Sunbird.

Southern Martin
Progne elegans
Large swallow with pointed wings and slightly forked tail. Males are deep iridescent purple; females are also entirely dark, but are brownish below, with faint scaling. Migrates within South America; at some times of year, occurs with other very similar martin species, making identification difficult. Females lack the light belly of similar Purple and Gray-breasted Martins; males essentially indistinguishable from Purple Martin.
Cape Bunting
Emberiza capensis
A gray-brown bunting with a boldly striped head and bright chestnut wings. Pairs and small groups are resident, preferring rocky areas in heathland, arid shrubland, woodland, and grassland, where they mostly hop on the ground searching for food. The song is variable, but is typically a slightly accelerating phrase of 5-6 similar well-spaced notes, “chet-shwit-set-chwit-chet-swit.” The distinctive call is a nasal rising “neeh-neerh-neeeerh-neh” or similar. Now includes Vincent’s Bunting of Malawi, which tends to be darker than Cape Bunting populations elsewhere.
Variegated Antpitta
Grallaria varia
Large plump antpitta with a short tail, long legs, and big eyes. Cryptically plumaged with a gray-speckled crown, brown spotted body, and a white moustache. Very secretive; walks quietly on the ground in humid forests. The song is deep and reverberates long distances through the forest, increasing in volume towards the end.
