Yellow-throated Fiji Whistler

Warm brown above and white below with a faint cinnamon wash near the “shoulders” that give it a “vested” appearance. Can be similar to Negros Jungle-Flycatcher, which is generally found at higher altitudes. Look for a combination of longer, smaller-headed profile, and incomplete, diffuse breast band in present species. Found from the central Philippines south to islands off Borneo’s northeastern coast, where it inhabits lowland to submontane forests. Frequently moves with mixed flocks, often in lower levels of forest, but can be found up into the canopy. Gives high, thin, clean-sounding whistles as well as various warbled and whistled notes.

Medium-sized pigeon, usually seen on the ground in open woodland or along roadsides in northwestern Northern Territory and the northern Kimberley in Western Australia. Plain brown plumage, with white stripe along the edge of the breast. Distinctive facial markings, with comical red (Northern Territory) or yellow (Western Australia) facial skin. Takes flight with a loud clatter of wings. Compare Squatter Pigeon, Flock Bronzewing (with black-and-white facial markings), and both Chestnut-quilled and White-quilled Rock-Pigeons (with pale wing panels).

Tiny, inconspicuous manakin of lowland rainforest canopy. Adult male is unmistakable; females and young males are told by slim shape and crisp two-toned appearance. Generally seen less often than other manakins; feeds on fruit in midstory and canopy, occasionally in understory. Usually detected by its thin, lisping call, which is strikingly similar to that of Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher, but with 3–4 (not 2) syllables and falling in pitch. Male display, rarely seen, is centered on fallen logs.
