Flowerpecker (11/11) Borneo endemic - Dark-sided Flowerpecker (Lifer 561-688)

One of the common flowerpecker you can shoot in KNP.  Very responsive bird and can stay for quite a while for you to shoot. It was a matter of finding the right locale and wait for it to come by. I have seen this berry plant in Bukit Tinggi I think its call Elderberry which attract plenty of   flowerpeckers. 

The black-sided flowerpecker (Dicaeum monticolum), also known as the Bornean flowerpecker, is a species of bird in the family Dicaeidae. It is endemic to the island of Borneo, where it is found in the mountains, primarily above 1,000 m (3,300 ft) in elevation. The species is sexually dimorphic. Now is to find out whether the Yellow-bellied do dwell in peninsula...............Lenggeng FR or Panti
