AVoCet catalog # | AV593 |
Audio duration (s) | 95.9 |
ID confidence and determination | slightly less than 100% ID by guide Patrice, who saw well at close quarters and said he was certain of this ID particularly on the basis of calls; I saw it poorly in dim light and could not distinguish from Xanthomixis zosterops. Call does not closely match any for X. zosterops on any CD or XC, being distinctly lower (mainly 5.5-7.5 kHz, with a few notes higher) and sharper and clearer. However, not similar to only available cut, on Bird Sounds of Madagascar, for this species. |
Other identified bird species | Neomixis tenella |
Sound types present | call |
