Hi,

Got a few birds during a trip in Bali and Yogyakarta and would like some expert opinion on a few of the birds seen there, that I could not identify for sure.

If anyone can confirm the identities, that would be great, Thanks in advance

1# Flowerpecker species in Sanur mangrove



2# Absolutely no idea. was with the flowerpecker and some sunbirds in Sanur mangrove


3# (juvenile) Whiskered Tern? Sanur beach



4# Changeable Hawk Eagles? Nusa Penida (birds were clearly on migration together)


5# Glossy Swiftlet or Edible Nest Swiftlet? Ubud area





6# Cave Swiftlet? Ubud area





7# Another Cave Swiftlet? Ubud area




8# pretty sure Oriental Honey Buzzard? Ubud


9# Short-tailed or Glossy Starling? a friend thought it was a violet cuckoo... Bedogul area




10# Mountain Leaf Warbler? Bedogul


11# pretty sure Grey-throated Ibon? Bedogul



12# Oriental or Mountain White-eye? Bedogul




13# Wedge tailed Green Pigeon? Ubud area



14# Brown Prinia? in Mount Merapi

#13 looks like a female Pink-Neck Pigeon, however, i am unsure about the ring around the eye ..

Dear Ronaldo

My opinion of the bird in picture 5 series to be glossy swiftlet, which flew around my daughter's
home's balcony every day and elsewhere, especially the second from top which shows well its underbody.

Thanks a lot for confirming 5#

Anyone can help on the other identifications please?

Pic 12.Is a Mountain White eye showing the diagnostic pale iris.
The difficulty with the Flowerpecker is that it's a juvenile from the pale orange base of the bill and I am not aware that they are well described.
I really don't do Swiftlets and I can't help with the pigeon either .Not sure if it would be possible to differentiate a female/imm  Thick billed/Grey cheeked or Little from that view.
My gut reaction on Pic 4 was that they were HB's.
Sorry I can't be of any real use.

Thanks Eric,

Already good to confirm the white-eye.

I have ruled out the little green pigeon on field. Grey-cheeked is a possibility, but thick-billed doesn't exist in Indonesia.

Thanks a lot
