Hello,

I recently spent a few days in Khao Yai National Park, which was fantastic, lots of birds and managed to see wild Elephants.

I have a few photos of some birds which I am unsure on, any help would be most appreciated.

Many Thanks Chris

There was also a mixed flock containing many Leaf warblers I managed to get a few photos but not sure if anything can be identified from them.

I managed to get three photos of the first bird and two of the second.

Many Thanks

First set:

No. 1 looks very yellow underneath - Sulphur-breasted Warbler looks the most likely - unless the coloration is misleading.

No. 2 - Mountain Hawk Eagle?

Nos 3-4 looks like Green-eared Barbet.

In the second set, the first bird gives me the feel of either Greenish or Two-barred Warbler, but it's hard to say from these images.

Even less sure about the second bird. The faint coronal and tail shape, and the pose it's adopting, remind me of Claudia's Leaf Warbler, but you can't ID a bird with certainty from images like these. How was it behaving?

Hi Andy,

Thanks again for looking at these.

I thought it was Sulphur-breasted as it was within the mixed flock of Warblers and stood out to me as appearing bright yellow underneath. Yeah I also thought of Green-eared Barbet.

The second Warbler was acting a bit like Pallas's with its hovering.

Doesn't sound like Claudia's. More likely to be a Chinese Leaf perhaps. Actually my first thought was one of the Pallas's group.

Of the warblers, Two-barred for the first, long winged, nice wingbars, unmarked yellow lower mandible etc.
The second could be a Chinese Leaf. There is a hint of white at the rear of the coronal stripe which is good for the species. However, there is no hint of tertial spots or wingbars so It might be best left. http://orientalbirdimages.org/images/data/obc_201306_22.jpg
