After more close up pics of the Buzzing Flowerpecker on March 29, 2005, I have revised the ID of this image to Buzzing FP, instead of Pygmy FP.

Romy, I guess the only reason I hesitated on this one is the color of the feet that seemed to light in color to me. However, everything else is good for Pygmy Flowerpecker, which is what this is for me.

Hi Marijn, This bird is about the same size as this one -http://www.pbase.com/liquidstone/image/36144608, which was earlier identified by Steve and others as a Pygmy Flowerpecker. In fact, I think this new bird is a PFP, but I'm hesitating because of the slight difference in color of the bill. This is not the same individual as 2401. Sorry, I can't recall what the call was.

Hi Romy, Is this the same individual as in img_2401? And can you give an indication of the size? It seems to be very small. Any additional information (e.g. call) would be most welcome, because this bird is (or these birds are) very puzzling!
