Buff-bellied Monarch
Neolalage banksiana
A strikingly beautiful flycatcher with a bright golden belly, a pure white face, and a black back, cap, and chest band. Tail black with white tip, rump white. Wings black with large white panels. Found in most wooded habitats up to 1200 meters of elevation, including gardens. Usually forages low down, frequently fanning its tail and always moving. Behavior separates it from the superficially similar Vanuatu Whistler. Common calls include a scolding “tze” and a long, quavering thin whistle.

Cocos Booby
Sula brewsteri
Large seabird of inshore and offshore waters in tropical regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Mostly brown, with a sharp white belly. The head and neck color vary geographically, and can be solidly brown or variably whitish. Immatures have a variably mottled brown belly that rarely looks solidly brown. Compare with other boobies. Often seen from beaches, sometimes just beyond the breakers. Usually plunge-dives from a shallow angle, much closer to the water than Blue-footed Booby. Breeds in colonies on offshore islands, nesting on the ground.
Sind Woodpecker
Dendrocopos assimilis
Only black-and-white woodpecker in most of its range. Note the big white shoulder patches and white bars on the black back. Very similar to Syrian Woodpecker, but the Sind Woodpecker is smaller, with a thinner moustache, more white on the back, and a slightly smaller bill. Inhabits dry, open scrub and woodlands. Calls include a squeaky trill and a single-noted “kwik.”
Appert's Tetraka
Xanthomixis apperti
Pretty, medium-sized tetraka. Green back, gray head, and rich yellow underparts. Rare and localized Madagascar endemic that is found in a handful of forest patches in the southwest. Most often seen in the understory of western deciduous forest. Often in pairs, small flocks, or mixed-species flocks. Call is a series of silvery, sputtered “spit” notes. In its small range, separated from Spectacled Tetraka by its brighter underparts, gray head, and pale eye-stripe. Much smaller and more brightly colored than Long-billed Bernieria.
