Hi,
I am not sure if it´s possible to identify just some of there leafbirds. I couldn´t with at least some certainty...

Thank you for help!

Based on a preliminary study of my regional field guide (I'm no expert, hopefully others will chime in):

1-2. Blue-winged Leafbirds (male and female)
3. Blue-winged Leafbird (female)
4. Greater or Lesser Green Leafbird (male)
5. Blue-winged Leafbird (female)

Thank you Grahame and John for your quick answers!

Petr, my earlier comments were rather rushed. In images 1,2,3 & 5 the turquoise-blue remiges are diagnostic of Blue-winged. The bird in image 4 is more tricky as male Greater Green is v.similar to nominate Lesser Green. If you look closely at the image you will see that the black face mask just surrounds the eye which makes it a Greater.

Thank you, Grahame, differences are really subtle to me so I really appreciate your effort!
