Andaman Treepie

Streaky canopy foliage-gleaner with a slightly hooked bill tip. Light buffy brown overall with extensive streaking from the head down to the back and breast, with reddish wings and tail. Forages in the midstory and canopy with mixed species flocks, keeping its body horizontal as it clambers along branches. Most common in upland forest, where it can be the most common foliage-gleaner in canopy mixed species flocks, but can also occasionally be found in mature forest in seasonally flooded areas.

A striking bushshrike with a chestnut crown and nape, blackish upperparts with a white wing-stripe, and entirely white underparts. A scarce species that skulks in pairs in the understory of secondary forest and farmbush, including coffee plantations, near Gabela along the Angolan escarpment. Vocalizations are variable, but quality is consistent: a haunting reverberating “whorrrrr,” a sweet musical “til-out, til-out,” and nasal twanging or grating rattles. Tropical Boubou is similar to Gabela Bushshrike but differs by having buffy underparts and a blackish, not chestnut, crown. 

Attractive plover, but contrary to its name, it does not have red knees. Instead it has pinkish upper legs. Adult has solid black hood and white chin with a black breast-band and chestnut flank patch. Juvenile is gray with white underparts lacking the black or red. Fairly common resident around freshwater wetlands, where it often occurs in small flocks.
