Thanking me before I have posted a comment-most odd!

1. Chestnut-winged Babbler
2-5 Yes, Moustached at this location which is too high for Sooty-capped, a bird restricted to lowland forest. A juvenile, very difficult from below, the 'moustache' which confusingly refers to the malar or lateral throat stripe appears to be absent in this individual. This is not an issue, it can be very weak, even absent.
