5 various, Thailand/Camobida (1 Viewer)

And finally, after 67 new species firmly IDed, this is what is left (and I will stop spamming the forum, I promise .... well, at least until the next big trip that is).


1 - Prinias, but which - plain? Mekong shores, Kampong Cham, Cambodia
2 - this is slightly embrassing, but I can't find any fitting dove - I have more pictures of these, they were quite common in the wetlands, but always flew away quickly - Tonle Sap, Cambodia
3 - Besra? Kep, Cambodia
4 - this is puzzling - the head is really dark (and was so in field), a weird Buzzard morph? Koh Kong, Cambodia
5 - I have already shown you this warbler, but it got overlooked amidst more interesting birds. Khao Yai, Thailand

When I was in Cambodia a couple years ago...

Both plain and yellow-bellied prinias were around the Tonle Sap. I think plain is a better fit, cause they sure don't look like yellow-bellied.

We had zebra, red-collared, and spotted doves around that area. The back pattern is too plain to be a zebra dove. And based on the transition to brownish wing tips on a spotted as opposed to all black wing tips on a red-collared, I think it's a spotted dove.

No guess on the others.

1) Plain Prinia
2) Spotted Dove
3) oh gawd, an accipiter....need to spend a bit of time on that one...
4) Oriental Honey Buzz I think
5) Yellow-browed Warbler

Number 3 looks like a juvenile Grey-faced Buzzard.

I was wondering whether 5 could be Hume's Leaf - it seems very grey in tone, and the legs and bill look fairly dark.

I agree with Plain Prinia, Spotted Dove and Oriental Honey Buzzard.

Agree with Grey-faced Buzzard, Phylloscopus could well be a Hume's. Despite the rather large dark base to the secondaries, the greater coverts aren't too contrasty and super looks rather buffish. Are there any other images?

Thanks! But are you people sure with the OHB? I have tried searching the web for them, but could not find any photo with such coloration ... but I know that they are pretty variable. For further discussion, I add more photos, as well as more photos of the warbler, per request.
