Rufous-browed Flycatcher

The rufous-browed flycatcher is a unique-looking flycatcher with a gleamingly clean white throat & a strong rusty orange tinge to the brow and forehead. There is an overlap with the closely related White-gorgeted Flycatcher but it lacks that species’s gray face & black border to the white throat patch. It inhabits foothill and montane forests, where it forages close to the ground in lower vegetation.

Streaked Spiderhunter

The Streaked Spiderhunter (Arachnothera magna) is a large and noisy inhabitant of tropical & subtropical hill forests. Distinctive in its range it is a large spiderhunter with a long, curved black bill and black streaking all over its yellow-green upperparts and lighter yellow underparts. It gleans invertebrates from foliage, but also hovers around and probes into flowers for nectar. Often moves with mixed flocks calling frequently.
