Pink-breasted Flowerpecker
Dicaeum keiense
Tiny, compact bird, a typical flowerpecker with a short bill and very short tail. Endemic to the Tanimbar and Kai islands. Adult male glossy blue-black above, with a red chest and patchily pinkish-red underparts. Female gray above and pale below, with red rump and undertail coverts. Juvenile plain, with orange bill base and undertail coverts. Inhabits forest and forest edge habitats. Gives a high-pitched “tsee’ip”, a metallic trill, thin “tsip” notes, and short buzzy notes.
分类信息
The pink-breasted flowerpecker was formally described in 1874 by the Italian zoologist Tommaso Salvadori based on a specimen collected on the Kai Islands by the Italian botanist Odoardo Beccari. Salvadori coined the binomial name Dicaeum keiense. The specific epithet is from the alternative spelling "Kei" for the Kai Islands. The pink-breasted flowerpecker was formerly considered as a subspecies of the mistletoebird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum).<p>Two subspecies are recognised:

Caica Parrot
Pyrilia caica
Medium-sized, uncommon rainforest parrot. Combination of green body, brown collar, and black head is unique in range. Also occurs in lower-stature forests with sandy soils. Flies fast and low; usually seen rocketing past in small groups, through the forest canopy or just above it, disappearing quickly; odd, nasal calls are often heard just before such appearances. Like other parrots, forages on fruit and flowers in forest canopy.
Dark-crowned Heleia
Heleia dohertyi
A distinctive small songbird with olive upperparts, a bright yellow underside, and a diagnostic head pattern: chocolate-brown head crest with indistinct white flecking, black mark between the bill and the eye, and white brow. Singles, pairs, or small groups frequently join mixed-species flocks in forests, edges, and cultivated areas in lowlands and lower hills. Restricted to the Lesser Sundas. Vocalizations include soft chattering calls, thin “tsip” notes, harsh “kit-up” calls, and a complex warbled song comprising whistled and whipping notes.
Brown-capped Vireo
Vireo leucophrys
Rather plain vireo of humid evergreen and pine-evergreen forest in highlands and foothills. Northern populations (Mexico to Nicaragua) look and sound much like Warbling Vireo, but with browner upperparts and a distinctly brown cap. Usually at middle to upper levels in trees, where sings persistently in summer. Southern populations (Costa Rica to South America) have different song and distinct yellowish wash on breast and belly.
