Strange Weaver
Ploceus alienus
Unusual weaver with a black head, dark olive-green back, and yellow belly. The male shows a chestnut patch on the breast; in females this patch extends onto the throat. Found in the understory and mid-story of montane forest along the Albertine Rift. Usually in pairs, which creep through thick vegetation. Vocalizations include “chyet” notes, a sizzling, “radio static” song, and a descending series of several whistled notes. Somewhat similar to Forest Weaver, but easily separated by olive rather than black back and by chestnut on the breast.

Red-legged Seriema
Cariama cristata
Unmistakable large terrestrial raptorial bird. Sandy-colored overall with very long red legs, a long tail, and tufty crest in front of the eyes. Note the strong red bill and large pale eyes with blue eyerings. Strides elegantly through open and lightly wooded savannas but also perches on the top of trees. Usually sings at dawn, an evocative and incredibly loud “kuap-kuap-kuap-kuap” often delivered as a duet for extended periods.
Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon
Treron phoenicopterus
Brightly-colored pigeon with significant regional variation. Look for a gray “shoulder strap” and yellow legs. South Asian birds are the brightest, with an orange-yellow neck and green underparts. Southeast Asian birds have more extensive gray on the underparts. Sexes are similar. Found in lowland forest and forest edge, as well as parks, gardens, and orchards; a common urban bird in much of its South Asian range. Not extremely vocal; occasionally gives cooing whistles.
Pale-chinned Flycatcher
Cyornis poliogenys
A blue flycatcher that isn’t blue. Brown overall with a white throat, a gray face, and a faint hint of orange on the breast. Pale eye-ring gives it a large-eyed appearance. Distinguished from females of other blue flycatchers by its lack of pale coloration on the lores, its gray instead of brown face, and its relatively long-billed profile. Inhabits lowland and foothill broadleaf forests. Song is a rapid-fire blast of high notes.
