Please help me with these sunbirds, all in Thailand last month. I don't think the green one is a sunbird, but I have no idea what it might be...
Thanks

1-2. Black-throated Sunbird.
3. Could you give a location and also say if you saw it together with any males?
4. Mrs Gould's Sunbird.
5. Golden-fronted Leafbird.
 
#3 was somewhere around Chiang Mai. The weather at Doi Inthanon was horrible, cold, rainy and foggy, so we descended. I don't know if this is the male, but it was in the same are. This is the best pic of it.
Thanks

The male in the new image is Black-throated, and I think there's a good chance the female is also this species. I don't think it's Mrs Gould's.
 
Thanks.I wish I had better memories of the location and birds proximity...I remember details about #1 and 4, but nothing about #2 and 3. I guess they were very short encounters...
