I only managed to get a single pose and away it went with my gang lead by Robertus. We were shooting at the fruiting ficus tree at the far end monsoon drain away from RDC carpark. I do not know whether the guys notice the bird as they left the post earlier to seek other lifers at the back entrance of RDC.
The particular flowerpecker has pinkish to orangy eye. It has dull brown coat with a faint buffy streaking underpart from its breast to belly. It is rather stout and puffy in shape. It stayed in the canopy top (25ft) in the tree and never came down ever vigilant of my present. It was feeding amongst the Blue-eared Barbet and Yellow-vented flowerpeckers and several bulbuls at that time
The other place to see this bird is in Panti Johor but I have yet to set foot to that Forest reserve down south of Peninsula Malaysia.
