The Habitat Two Mystery Birds Penang Hill Malaysia (1 Viewer)

Walking around "The Habitat" on Penang hill was delightful. I was able to see a crimson sunbird, greater racket tailed drongo, brown throated sunbird, thick lipped green pigeon, common hill myna, house swift and one other bird I can't identify. I tried Merlin and searched the list on eBird. The common Iora seems to have the lines on the wings but not the eye ring. Any help is greatly appreciated. The bird was small to medium and flitting about so fast I just barely got some pictures. There were white lines on the wings that can be seen on the second picture. The third picture it was flying away.
