A few more (bad!) photos from Sri Lanka, Jan 2011 for Id please.

Locations were as follows...

5 - Wasgamuwa Nat Park
6a & b - Up high - Above 1100m asl on the pass between Nawalapitiya and Kotagala. Not sure if the bird in 6a is also in 6b.
7 - Somewhere in the lowlands just inland from Galle.

Agree with Mark...but to be really picky, some now split both the minivet - into Orange from Scarlet - and the eagle, into Crested from Changeable....

The intricacies of splits/shuffles are as yet beyond me.

Am I right in deducing from Opus that the Sri Lankan minivet would therefore be Orange Minivet?

I am struggling to find info on the possible split of the Hawk-Eagle.
Which would the Sri Lankan bird be?
