Scarlet-Backed Flowerpecker (Juvenile) (Dicaeum cruentatum)

Marvelous bird and a great camera angle showing that scarlet back. Well done Stuart!

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/ImageSCF8164_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.

Excellent capture of this stunning little bird Stuart, tfs.

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

A very nicely posed shot, Stuart.

Ooooh!!! Many thanks Stuart, most grateful to you.
