OK Guys! Agree on the ID. First photo of this one that I have ever seen and a web first I think. Dicaeum p. pygmaeum - adult female - Pygmy Flowerpecker.

Nilo, Jon and I are now of the opinion that this is a Pygmy Flowerpecker.

Romy,
I'm convinced that this is in genus Dicaeum. A juvenile or/and female. This still leaves me with about four possibles. Hopefully, Nilo can give us some valuable input, e.g. was this bird with other identifiable adult Flowerpeckers and which ones?

Steve,

This and the following pics (6621 and 6637) belong either to the same individual, or to a group feeding together at the same tree.

Let's ask Nilo (who was with me when these pics were taken) to give it his best shot.

Romy,
A toughie. May not get this one for sure. Looks to be juvenile and maybe some type of Flowerpecker. Open to suggestions!
