Hi, I spotted these two birds at different locations in Singapore last week. They look alike. Are both of them Olive-backed Sunbird or...? Thank you

Think they look better for female Plain- (aka Brown-) Throated Sunbird

Yes - note the shorter, straighter bill, the red iris and the prominent eye-ring broken at the rear, clearly visible in the second image.

Hi,: thanks a lot to all of you. I know to identify plain-throated sunbirds now. Thank you!
