| Spectacled Tetraka - Xanthomixis zosterops fulvescens | Ken Behrens | 2020-10-21 | Amber Mountain National Park, Antsiranana (Madagascar) (1100 m) | adult, dawn song, sex uncertain, song - I have never heard any vocalization like this from a Spectacled Tetraka before. But this was clearly a song-type vocalization, which I heard for extended periods (30 minutes plus) on two consecutive mornings. It only gave this song in the early morning, and this was during the first significant rains of the 2020 rainy season. Do other subspecies also give this song? Seems unlikely to me that other observers and I have missed it for so long. So this distinctive song from the Amber Mountain taxon seems a fascinating piece of the puzzle, in terms of whether or not it deserves to be considered a full species.

| Spectacled Tetraka - Xanthomixis zosterops fulvescens | Frank Lambert | 2003-11-15 | Amber Mountain National Park, Madagascar (Madagascar) (1100 m) | song - The song at 3.5-5.2s is fairly similar to some recordings of other subspecies but sounds a little different because each of the notes seem to be very slightly longer. This subspecies is distinctive, and like Amber Mountain Rock Thrush (erythronotus), could be a good species.
