Some tricky ones here Dave, I'll plump for -
1, Plain Sunbird, or another guess would be female Copper-throated Sunbird, having said that, as I can't see the bill, it probably isn't even a sunbird! Maybe a Golden-bellied Gerygone? Difficult one.
2, Whiskered Tern
3, Rufous-necked Stint (photo isn't big enough to see the other bird)
4, Rufescent Prinia
5, Rufous-tailed Tailorbird

1. Your third guess is the right one James - Gerygone it is.
2. Correct
3. Correct, but I actually meant the rear bird. It's severely cropped, but I'll try to blow it up. Not sure if this is an improvement or not.
4. Correct again.
5. Oh no - just over the bar!

Is 5 a Common Tailorbird then, second guess would be Dark-necked Tailorbird? I noticed afterwards the rufous doesn't extend below the eye.
Unsure with the white bird, as it shows a dusky nape, but the only bird I can think of is maybe Gull-billed Tern, I would say its too small for a Caspian. The bird doesn't seem toshow black primaries, so that rules out any asian gulls. Don't know! I think you'll have to give us more of a clue.
Some good quiz photos here, bring them on!

mmm, a little more difficult!
Here goes.....
1, Orange-backed Woodpecker (my bogey bird!)
2, Phylloscopus species. Maybe Blyth's Leaf Warbler or Eastern Crowned, judging by the undertail coverts and pale lower mandible
3, Wire-tailed Swallow? Though i presume if it was taken in Malaysia it could be Red-rumped Swallow instead? Difficult.
4, Ruby-cheeked Sunbird
5, Yellow Wagtail
All the best

Hi Dave,
I've got hundreds of dodgy mystery bird pics from my travels! I'll have a search through once I get the chance and see what I can come up with. Reckon they'll be some good ones somewhere.
cheers,
James
