Masked Water-Tyrant

Fluvicola nengeta

Medium-sized terrestrial flycatcher, usually encountered near water and frequently found in urban areas where it can be quite tame. A black mask and wings contrast with the rest of the pale underparts, head, and back. The tail is black with a white tip. The call is a sharp loud “kirt.”

Scaly-breasted Kingfisher

Scaly-breasted Kingfisher

Actenoides princeps

A large forest kingfisher with a deep purple-blue head, a brown back, a pale collar, and whitish underparts. Bold scaling on upperparts and underparts is diagnostic. Males show a small buff mark at the base of the bill, while females show a buff eyebrow and moustache. North Sulawesi form has a buff collar, but collar is orange elsewhere on Sulawesi. Juveniles are more heavily scaled, with a dull-colored bill. Found in dense understory of forests in the hills and mountains. Vocalizations include a rising and falling mournful whistle, “weeeeyu,” and an agitated chatter.

Fawn-breasted Wren

Fawn-breasted Wren

Cantorchilus guarayanus

A rather nondescript medium-sized wren. Mostly brown above and rusty below, with a white eyebrow and pied streaked cheeks. Skulks in the undergrowth of seasonally flooded forest and second growth, often near water. The similar Buff-breasted Wren has less strongly marked cheeks and a more complex song. Where the two overlap, Fawn-breasted is more likely to be found in wetter habitats.

Papyrus Gonolek

Papyrus Gonolek

Laniarius mufumbiri

Boldly patterned black-and-red bushshrike with a yellow crown and pale eyes. The duller immature has orange underparts and a gray crown. Found in papyrus swamps, where it skulks with great skill. The male gives ringing “chonk” or “chuwee” notes, often in rapid-fire or up-and-down series. The female gives a low ratcheting call which is sometimes given in a duet alongside the male’s vocalizations. Similar to Black-headed Gonolek, but has a yellow crown and a white wingbar.
