List of species at this locale that are endemic (E), near endemic (NE), have restricted ranges (RR), or that occur only locally (LC) in the country. Table also shows species with threatened or endangered status according to the IUCN. Finally, it indicates whether the species is migratory, very rare, or accidental. Names in parentheses (if any) are new official names in the revised Clements updates. '^' indicates range-restricted in country but more widely distributed elsewhere.*

* Nomenclature and taxonomic affinities are based on Clements 6th Edition published 2007 with updates through December 2011 maintained by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, which relies largely on the AOU and SACC nomenclature committees.
** Species not accepted by Clements, AOU, or SACC that we recognize based on the IOC, field observations along with geographical separation, consensus opinions of field guide authors, and other sources. These species are potential splits in future Clements updates.
