Showing shades of how beautiful he will shortly be eh? Stuart!!! What a lovely detailed image this is.

Your one would seem to be a male in and much older than the one we have in The Opus (https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Image:DSCF8164_Scarler-backed_Flowerpecker.jpg) and I'm wondering if that one may be a female? Would you happen to be able to advise on that?

I'll add your picture to the article shortly, very well done and many thanks for sharing it with us.

A beautiful image of this beauty with the perfect head turn.
 
Thankyou for the comments :)

Delia, yes this one is the male, and the one you have already is the female. You have the full set now :)
