Green-headed Oriole

Oriolus chlorocephalus

Old World oriole with mostly yellow plumage, a dull-green hood, and a red bill. Found in forest, forest edge, lush woodland, and adjacent secondary habitats, at low and middle elevations. Song is a series of slurred, liquid whistles, and calls include a raspy, up-slurred whine. Similar to African Black-headed Oriole, but with a good view, easily separated by the green rather than black hood. Often found in the same areas as Eurasian Golden and African Golden Orioles, but distinguished by being hooded rather than yellow-headed.

Moustached Brushfinch

Moustached Brushfinch

Atlapetes albofrenatus

A distinctive brushfinch with a limited range in north-central Colombia and western Venezuela. Olive above and yellow below with a mostly black head, a tawny crown, and a bold white mustache stripe. Occurs at the edge of montane forest from around 1,500 to 2,500 m. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks, foraging in the lower to middle levels.

Chestnut-bellied Partridge

Chestnut-bellied Partridge

Arborophila javanica

Brilliantly colored small partridge of montane and foothill forests. Often difficult to see in the gloom and tangle of shaded vegetation, but note slate-gray back and chest, rusty belly, and bright orange-and-black face pattern. Like other Arborophila partridges, typically forages on the forest floor in small groups. Song is a fast and gradually rising series of “whew” notes; when duetting, one bird gives the aforementioned song while its partner gives a slower, lower-pitched “boo-goo, boo-goo, boo-goo.”

Moluccan Scops-Owl

Moluccan Scops-Owl

Otus magicus

A small owl with ear tufts, a black facial border, yellow eyes, prominent black streaking on pale underside, and intricately patterned upperparts with conspicuous white wing markings. Occurs in gray and rufous forms. Adult’s crown is streaked; juvenile’s is barred. Inhabits forest and plantations within lowlands and foothills. On some islands, overlaps with Wallace’s and Flores Scops-Owls. There, smaller Moluccan is best separated by voice from Wallace’s, but can be distinguished from Flores Scops-Owl by dark crown, dark bill, and bold streaking on the underside. Call is a distinctive frog-like croak.
