Streaky-breasted Spiderhunter Generic-looking spiderhunter, olive-green above with a streaky gray breast. The only spiderhunter on Java with well-defined streaking on dull gray underparts; the only other streaked spiderhunter is Long-billed, which has a much more impressive bill, as well as poorly-defined streaks and a yellow-washed belly. Immatures with unstreaked underparts may be confusing if seen, but general shape and patterning, as well as the presence of an adult, should be helpful. A species of foothill forests, where it forages in forest and forest edge habitats. Gives harsh, noisy chattering calls. Link:

Yellow-crowned Gonolek A striking black-and-crimson bushshrike with a yellow-orange crown. Juvenile is duller, browner above and yellowish underneath. Singles and pairs forage alone or sometimes in mixed-species flocks in moist or dry savanna using dense tangles, where it prefers thicker trunks but will also hop on the open ground; also uses coastal scrub and mangroves. Calls are variable, but mostly comprise loud ringing whistles answered by clicks, electric buzzing, and grating notes in a synchronized duet. Link:
