Thanks Peter, I've replied to your email address, but this will let other know.

I saw two Scarlet Finches whilst cycling up to Doi MaeSalaong this week.

This will be their most Eastwards extent from their Himalayan range.

A startling gorgeous sight!

1. why did you think they were Sunbirds....if all Crimson,,,that is red...it might fit better with Mrs Goulds Sunbird but that one is only on high mountains.....
2. all red birds , Red Avadavats, a bird of grasslands and rice fields...
Scarlet Finch , a very rare bird of the highest mountains in the very North.

Better write me on my email....

Today 3rd Feb.2019 cycling up to Doi MaeSalong I stopped to rest under a shade tree, and flitting within the leaves I noted a pair of small totally crimson birds (nuthatch sized) and not hovering like sunbirds.

I came here to ID them, but don't see them pictured. The nearest is the Crimson Sunbird, but these were brighter crimson and all over.

The identical pair remained on the same tree, as if foraging insects. the tree was not in bloom, none of the blossom trees are blooming yet. (Late this year.)

Could you suggest what they might be called?

I'll call back here to see your response Peter.
