HI ,

I see this rather small bird in the trees recently

- Almost metallic green on top
- 2-3 inches in length
- Reminds me of a woodpecker in it motions, clings to the tree side ways. Pecks at trees bark.

I have been looking in books and online but no success.

Any leads would be appreciated .

Look for photos of Fork-tailed Sunbird.

Possibly Japanese White-eye? Try comparing to these: http://orientalbirdimages.org/se ... _ID=&pagesize=1 or http://orientalbirdimages.org/se ... _ID=&pagesize=1

Photos of Fork-tailed Sunbird, as Beetle suggested can be found at: http://orientalbirdimages.org/se ... _ID=&pagesize=1 These are really metallic green on the head and tail.
