Nahan's Partridge
Ptilopachus nahani
Unusual francolin that is small and very dark, with a thick tail that is usually cocked up. A good view reveals red legs, red bare skin around the eye, and bright white markings on the breast and neck. Found very locally on the ground in rainforest. Usually in pairs or small groups. The distinctive vocalization is a series of loud “chu-wheet” notes that rises and becomes more emphatic, usually given as a duet by a pair. Similar to Latham’s Francolin, but separated by the partly red bill, red bare facial skin, and red rather than yellow legs. Somewhat similar to Scaly Francolin, but smaller, with red bare facial skin and bright white markings below.
识别特征
At about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in length, the Nahan's partridge is a relatively small, terrestrial bird with a red eye-ring, legs and base of the bill, brownish upperparts, and black-and-white underparts and head.

White-banded Mockingbird
Mimus triurus
Distinctive mockingbird with large white wing patches, visible at rest and spectacular in flight. It is largely whitish below with a gray head and cinnamon rump. The tail is mostly white with black central feathers. Found in savannas and other semiopen areas. The song is variable and includes songs of other species.

Yellowish White-eye
Zosterops nigrorum
A small bird of lowland and foothill forest and more open wooded areas. Olive-green above and bright yellow below with a yellow patch between the eye and bill. Note the broad white eye-ring. Usually found in single- or mixed-species flocks where it is a core species. Occurs together with Lowland and locally with Mountain White-eyes, but Yellowish has a yellow rather than pale-gray belly. Song consists of jumbled whistles. Calls include a typical white-eye “tweet” or trill.

Mouse-colored Penduline-Tit
Anthoscopus musculus
A tiny drab bird with a sharp bill. Note gray back, whitish underparts, and faintly black-speckled forehead. Generally uncommon in dry savanna and thornscrub, usually found in pairs or small flocks. Similar to Sennar and African Penduline-Tits, but grayer on the back and paler below. Can also be mistaken for Yellow-bellied or Yellow-vented Eremomelas, but has a shorter and thinner bill and no yellow on the underparts. Vocalizations include high-pitched “sit” notes and long trills.
