In Tai Po Kau Today i encountered a flowerpecker calling strangely. It was rather coarse and is somewhere between Stonechats and Reed Warblers - different from the "normal" flowerpeckers. I am not sure if it could be a Plain Flowerpecker, as its call is similar to the descriptions on the book and recordings online.
It was directly over my head and i couldn't find a different angle to observe. don't think photos could help in identification but i have attached as well
On the other hand I have been told that there are differences in calls between Buff-bellied and Scarlet-backed. Some suggested that Buff-bellied is more musical in tempo. Not sure if this is true as i have never confirmed. Grateful if anybody could share their experiences.
