Flowerpeckers from Fraser's Hill, Malaysia (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Hi all, took these two flowerpeckers near The Gap at Fraser's Hill, Malaysia (~850m). Leaning towards Plain Flowerpecker for the first (5071, 5068, 5069), and have no idea what the second could be (5095, 5090, 5086).

Would greatly appreciate any help in the IDs, thanks!

I think both birds are Plain as they're generally rather drab and featureless with a straight stubby bill. I would expect female Fire-breasted to look greyer, with a slightly decurved bill and some yellow tones on the belly. I think this species is more commonly seen higher up the hill.
