    What birds have bright orange beaks?

    Black-bellied whistling duck? Out of range but fits some of your description.

    small flycatcher in Sabah, Borneo

    I hadnt thought of the Mugimaki not being there at that time. A young Bornean makes sense as they were in the area (see my other post the same day), so putting it all together it is a better solution than Mugimaki. Thanks everyone for your time and efffort.

    another flycatcher from the bornean rainforest

    Thanks everyone - I am comfortable with Bornean after seeing your comments. Great place the Kinabatangan, could've stayed for weeks!

    small flycatcher in Sabah, Borneo

    Thanks for the replies, the picture was taken last week - mid June. It could have been a youngster - agree that is a possibility. The tail seemed ok for length at the time but the wings looked odd, so that is a possible explanation. Andy

    another flycatcher from the bornean rainforest

    This one we saw a few times but i was never able to match it exactly with illustrations and descriptions in the field guide. I am thinking Bornean Blue Flycatcher because of the extent of the orange underneath although the guide shows more than the photo does. This bird was in thick forest...

    small flycatcher in Sabah, Borneo

    found this small bird that looks like a flycatcher in the forest near the kinabatangan river in sabah, borneo. I am thinking a female mugimaki flycatcher but would value any other opinions. Thanks Andy

    Small ground bird from Chiang Dao

    We saw this bird in Temple Gully near Chiang Dao. We also saw streaked wren babbler in the same location that was much darker. Thinking buff breasted babbler but would welcome any suggestions. Thanks Andy

    raptor ID Malaysia

    Thanks for the ID - makes a lot more sense. My eyes are still blinded from how many times it flew into the sun! A nice small eagle. Cheers.

    raptor ID Malaysia

    Taken in Perak, Malaysia near Gerik. This bird was soaring around very unfalconlike, but it looks like a Peregrine, can anyone give positive id? Thanks Rach

    Hornbill ID Perak Malaysia

    Saw these flying in the distance earlier today, Belum State Park Perak. Can anyone give a positive id, we are thinking Wreathed or Plain-Pouched, leaning toward Wreathed due to the size but hard to judge as they were quite far away. Cheers Rach

    2 birds from Sri Lanka

    Thanks everyone. I guess the prinia is hunched up in the "cold" of the morning! Agree the second one looks like a flowerpecker bill so Legge's or white throated could fit. Maybe a bit out of range? Thanks again. Cheers Andy
