Orange-Bellied Flowerpecker

Orange-Bellied Flowerpecker is a rather small flowerpecker measuring at just 9cm from head-to-tail. Despite its small size it is colorful and quite common around the edge of a forest. To get its images one would need to either pray that the bird stay still for 5 minutes or otherwise you need a rather fast lens.

This is a male which has just emerged itself in the morning sunlight.

This is a juvenile male.

Adult males have bright orange on its belly as well as its rump and back. Wonder why experts do not call them orange-backed flowerpecker instead.
