How well do you know birds?

(John) Whitehead’s Trogon, Broadbill, and ?Spiderhunter?
(I sort of cheated on this question by looking up “sabah birds” and returned a “Birds of Borneo” poster. Immediately once I saw “Whitehead”(didn’t make out the rest of the names) I immediately thought of Whitehead’s Broadbill and started running through possible guesses such as “Whitehead’s Bulbul”, “Whitehead’s Myna”, etc. before actually cheating by searching “whitehead's bird” and returning Whitehead’s Trogon. I then guessed the first name as John and checked it as correct. Finally, I guessed Whitehead’s Spiderhunter)
If this looks too “cheaty”, you can ask a different quiz question.

I suspect both of these are correct, but the Guinness Book of Records also quotes Blue Grouse as having the shortest migration of only around 300m.
 
The answer I wanted was Mountain Quail, but all of these answers are technically correct. (The Guinness record is outdated, though: there are now 2 species of “blue grouse”, the Sooty and the Dusky)
Kakapo can ask the next question.
 
Of course it is. So are White-tailed Ptarmigan, Blue Grouse, and Willow Ptarmigan. If Kakapo is not bringing up a new question, you can ask the next one.
