Is it Plain Flowerpecker?
Found at least couple of these birds; not sure these photos are from one bird since it flew/jumped fast on one tree. Taken at KFBG. Thanks in advance.

It looks like a female Fire-breasted to me, with the buff/brown tones to the upperparts and underparts, and the relatively short bill.
I think Plain should look colder/greyer in tone and greener above, with a longer bill (slightly more like a sunbird). Compare: [url]http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?p=6&Bird_ID=2180&Bird_Family_ID=&pagesize=1[/url]
Of course, they are never easy to ID, especially because they are usually so mobile!
