<i>Ptilocichla falcata</i>
Family Timaliidae

endemic, uncommon

Bird # 419 - May 2013

This bird is described in the Kennedy guide as "uncommon and secretive in forest and second grouth, staying on or near the ground in dense foliage. Unmistakable, all dark brown with white stripes and clear white throat with dark mustache."

We were able to see the bird with binoculars but we couldn't get a clear shot as it stayed inside the tangles.
