Slaty Tanager

A medium-sized bird with a hooked bill of montane forest. Male is all black and female dull brown. Forages singly or in pairs at all levels in the forest, looking for insects. Male somewhat similar to Drongo Fantail, but Black Pitohui male has more horizontal posture and lacks the flat head. Similar to MacGregor’s Bowerbird female, but female Black Pitohui is smaller, with a hooked bill. Voice, a slow, rising “pooiii!”, a quicker rising “whip-whip-whip…” sometimes speaded up into a trill, and also a forceful, downward “tiiaoo!”.

A very large, flightless rail of lowland swamp forests. Thick yellow bill and strong black legs. Dark brown back, buffy flanks and a pale face and chest. Flicks its wings upwards often. Somewhat similar to Rufous-tailed Bush-Hen, although New Guinea Flightless-Rail is significantly larger, not as dark and has a longer bill. Similar size to a scrubfowl, but the bill is totally different. Call, a rough, introductory “rak! rak! rak! Followed by a series of upslurred growling sounds repeated constantly.

Distinctive chestnut nighthawk, lacking white marks on either the tail or wings, and barred below. Found in caatinga woodland along rivers across a restricted distribution. The song is a double-noted "whuip-purr." In flight, gives a “whip" call.
