OK. Let's say subadult after Des Allen's punctualization. I defined it an immature, when I could have said subadult, because I did not want to pin it down too much given the absolute lack of descriptions of intermediate age-related plumages for this species, but also because of the persistance of the white lores.

Prov. ID = Dicaeum pygmaeum salomonseni - immature male.
