    Kinda late to the party, but I agree that Merlin is the best for now.. although there are still some species recording missing, if this is what you need it for.

    Mystery raptor from Indonesia

    Wings looks wayy to square for pygmy eagle, with sharp angle between primaries and secondaries. Pretty sure it is young brahiminy kite as explained by Grahame

    4 days in Jakarta... Again. Any chance for green junglefowl near?

    Not amazingly rare, just getting hard to find in Jakarta. Massively understudied as well and still no survey to assess its current status. Still numerous in Surabaya and Yogyakarta coast, but birder rarely comes there. Yep, the boardwalk is almost non-existent and they don't open it to...

    4 days in Jakarta... Again. Any chance for green junglefowl near?

    I know this is pretty late, but Green Junglefowl has been reported recently (an immature female) from Ragunan Zoo, around the crocodile enclosure. That should work if you don't care much about the origin of the individual--which is most likely an escapee, though still possibilities of wild...

    Two new bird species from the Meratus Mountains

    Indonesian name can be complicated since birder and aviculturist used different terms, especially the later since they don't follow modern taxonomy and varies between location. Sikatan refers to fantail in most aviculturist, but we birder use it for flycatchers.

    For Black-browed Babbler! Zoom H5 vs H6 vs Tascam DR-40x; and SGH-6 vs SSH-6 vs Rode NTG2?

    Ok, I admit I used the recently rediscovered black-browed babbler as bait to get a quicker response--but that's exactly what I am going to do. I am going to have fieldwork soon in the area where it was rediscovered, and I need your suggestion of a good and affordable handheld recorder+shotgun...

    Cacomantis cuckoo East Java

    I cropped the image to get more detail of the head and claw. You can clearly see the eyering and the eyemask as well, which somehow confused me even more between RBC and BBC.

    Brown Fulvetta? Jambi, Sumatra

    My friend caught this bird in ringing mist net. I suspected it as Brown Fulvetta, but the grey on the head is too intense compared to most picture available in the internet. I can't find any picture of Nrown Fulvetta from Sumatra, so I suspect there is some color variations from this island...

    Cacomantis cuckoo East Java

    Thank you so much Andy! The distinctive black mask is the main problem. I tend to Banded Bay because of that, but some other birder at the time suggested Rusty-breasted. I don't have information about common host parent for each cuckoos so your information is really helpful. I think I can agree...

    Cacomantis cuckoo East Java

    Found this juvenile cuckoo being fed by Little Pied Flycatcher. It was in the size of cacomantis cuckoo but I am not sure if it was Plaintive, Rusty-breasted or Bay-banded. Any idea? Thanks!

    Flycatcher and cuckoo from Vietnam (Cat Tien National Park)

    Hello! Thanks for the answer! Andy, the cuckoo looks exactly like the one in the picture that you sent. The only problem is the streak on the breat, which maybe isnt stripe at all but just some shadow of the feather. So what is the differences between himalayan and oriental? Andy and Larry...

    Hello! I wonder if there is somebody who has visited Ta Nung Valley at Dalat lately.

It is ok if...
