Looks like one of the variants of Plain Flowerpecker, called Nilgiri around Thattekad

Agree with PW

Thanks for your replies. I agree with Citril but unsure as to specific species. Even the latest edition of Stevenson and Fanshaw is not very helpful as my bird looks more like Western Citril being not as heavily streaked underneath as African.

I saw these birds along the river at the Blue Post Hotel, Thika March 2017. Possibly Canaries or Citril?

Thanks very much Andrew. Looking through the trip report a Buff- breasted Tody-Tyrant was seen that day. Also a Slender-footed Tyrannulet from which I read the Guianan Tyrannulet has recently been split.

Just done a bit more digging on the original files and they were both taken in Serra Baturite

Have had another look at online images and i agree. Think I caught just the right angle to confuse us!!

Thanks. That's what I thought originally, but , in the Helm Birds of East Asia ( I do not have a Cambodia guide) Mugimaki is shown with no black on the throat with the reddish chest extending right to the bill. Is this a Cambodia variant?

Seen in April 2014. Bird 2 ? possibly a Gnateater.

Seen in Cambodia. Any idea please?

1 and 2 look like a male Koel but should have a red eye. 3 and 4 look like a ragged Black Kite. 5 could be an Ashy Prinia

Immature seen in Etosha National Park
