Hi, took these two birds in July 2017 at Fraser's Hill but having difficulty with their ID - would appreciate any help, thanks!

Looks like it could be the local race of Blue-winged Minla.

The final two pics look good for Cream-vented Bulbul. Noticed the very light eye in the last photo.

This one Andy? That is a very different looking bird to the other race! Which subspecies?

I'm wondering if "74" and "77" may be one of the prinia species, I can't think which shows a submoustacial stripe though.

All 4 photographs show Blue-winged minlas, race sordidior, in which especially the immatures can look really dull.

Took me ages to figure them out when I was there!

Same! 😁 I think we had been writing them down as bulbuls for days before we realised that the books were useless for local subspecies.
