Hi abizid,

I have asked my Javan friends if they can help IDing. Hope they will turn up soon!

Hope you had a good time birding there. We live close to Merapi i Yogyakarta, but I'm useless at IDing birds.....
 
Hello Abizid

Just a quick reply to ID some of the birds in the photos (the other photos need further crosscheck)

1. Juvenile female of Scarlet-headed Flowerpecker (Dicaeum trochileum)

5-7. The birds show brown or dark bellied, so I'm pretty sure they are not Glossy Swiftlet (C. esculenta) (pics #5) or Cave Swiflets (Collocalia linchi) (pics #6-7). Cave Swiftlet have a white bellied (similar with Glossy Swiftlet, differ in the colour of the upperparts. Green in Cave Swiftlet, blue in Glossy Swiftlet. They are also has a different distributional range. In Bali=Cave Swiftlet). It might be Edible-nest Swiftlet (C. fuchipaga) or Black-nest Swiftlet (C. maxima).

8. Agree

10. Agree

11. Agree

12. Mountain White-eye (Zosterops montanus)

Cheers
 
Agree with 1, 8, 10, 11, 12 as above. 9 is an immature A. panayensis.

Yes, Brown Prinia - polychroa.

The pigeon photos are not clear enough to allow more than a guess in my estimation. The tail conformation, even if considering it perhaps worn, does not seem to me to indicate T. sphenura.
