Olive-backed Sunbird baby - Siem Reap, Cambodia yesterday (1 Viewer)

[Aladdin]

Dear members and Bird Watchers!

Took this pictures yesterday and I gave the ID Olive-backed Sunbird. Looking closer to the picture today and it looks like a yellow gape. I learned from Butty here on the forum that the babies have the yellow gape.

Or can it be a female with something orange from the food?


Kind Regards and Happy Birding
Aladdin

Yes, it's a juvenile with that yellow gape line.

Thank you very much!

I have been confused by food before.

Kind Regards
