Dear members and bird watchers!
I have problem with a warbler that I spotted in Gulf of Thailand today. I look in my book "Birds of Thailand" and I cannot find any warbler with black tipped tail and a white / beige band around the head with a blackish cap. I have also checked tailor birds. Any one that kind be so kind to assist? See attached picture #1
Bird in picture #2 +3 +4+5 I ran in to the bird sitting together with the warbler. I thought that they must be hungry here in the middle of Gulf of Thailand. So Iput out some rice (They never touched the fruit I put out for them) When I go to check them I discover that it is now 2 what I was first ID as a Plain-backed Sparrow. Sparrow because of the white stripe in the wing. Plain because of the colour of the eye ring. And on some pictures is almost looking like the back is plain, but on some it looks striked.
But the colour is not right, but the only birds with white stripe in the wing. Russet Sparrow, but the colour is not making me happy about that ID either, and Russet Sparrow is blackish under the eye.
Would be appreciated if someone knew the ID of the birds. I checked sparrows and buntings in my book, but only sparrows have the with stripe in the wings according to my book.
Kind regards and happy birding
