Dear members and Bird Watchers!

I spotted a bird and I was sure it was a Male Common Iora. But back home it looks like it have a yellow around the eye and then it is a female Green Iora.

According to the map in my book the Green Iora should not be here, only in the south. The picture is at least to say poor as the bird was moving all the time. But I managed to get a sound recording.

Anyone know if I should change from common to green? Would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards and happy birding
Aladdin

You were correct in your initial ID Aladdin as male Common Iora, Green is out of range. Female Green has yellowish wing-bars, the yellow 'spectacles' are much more prominent, less intense yellow underparts and, it had dark eyes.

Thank you very much Grahame!!

Very appreciated as I went from sure of the ID to very confused when looking in my book. Common in my book don't even have anything suggesting even a weak ring.

Thanks again

Kind Regards and Happy Birding
