Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Absolutely tiny round gray bird, comparable in size to a flowerpecker or small sunbird. Fairly plain overall, but note pale eyes, whitish underparts, and stout dark bill. Very active, flitting about quickly in the upper and middle levels of forest, usually in small groups. Gives sharp chips and dry, rattling trills.
