Pale Spiderhunter Arachnothera dilutior

A medium-sized bird of lowland and foothill forest and edge with a very long curved bill. Has a preference for banana plants. Grayish on the head and back with olive-green wings, a pale gray throat and chest, and a pale yellow belly. Note the yellow eye-ring and white tips to the undertail. Somewhat similar to Naked-faced Spiderhunter, but smaller and paler. Also similar to females of several sunbird species, but larger and longer-billed. Voice includes a sharp, nasal “rek!”
