Babblers:

The individual on this photo actually is a White-rumped Babbler (Turdoides leucopygia) and should be moved to that entry in the database:

http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/67246/sort/1/cat/500/page/1

Luckily, he later uploaded a photo of a real Cretschmar's (aka White-headed) Babbler (Turdoides leucocephalus), meaning that the entry won't be empty:

Cuckoo-shrikes & Cicadabirds:

The bird on the following photo actually is a Slender-billed Cicadabird (the name has also been corrected), a species already featured in the database. Previously, it was identified as a Grey-headed Cuckoo-shrike (and it should be removed from that entry in the database):

The pair on the following photo have now been identified as two Pied Cuckoo-shrikes (Coracina bicolor), a species without a photo in the database:

Seedeater:

Many authorities (incl. the one used in the database) have split the Variable Seedeater into three species. The individual on the following photo is a Wing-barred Seedeater if recognizing the split, a species without a photo in the database:

A few additional corrections for the database:

Hawks:

This is an Accipiter solensis (not an A. nanus):

http://www.birdforum.net/pp_gallery/showphoto.php/photo/67169/

This is probably an A. gularis; certainly not an A. trinotatus:

The above ID's were discussed briefly here:

Pewee's:

The following photo was originally ID'ed as a Contopus fumigatus, but it is not (I mention the reasons in one of the posts to it):

A real C. fumigatus can be found here:

Hornbill:

Also, just to be sure it isn't missed:
