ID Help needed

[Prajwal J Ullal]

I had located this bird during the last visit to Hubli. This small beauty was chirping along the short shrubs of the Rock garden and relishing on what locals call as the 'Singapore apple' (small brownish berries). This particular one was seated a bit high on the branch and was resting for a moment before heading off to another shrub for the berries. I guess its some form of flowerpecker, but not clear about its ID. Was as small as a Sunbird

Thick billed flowerpecker I would say. Nice catch for a 55-250. A +ve EC would have revealed more details against the sky. Any more shots of this bird? Would be interesting to see the shrub if you have any images, is it an exotic plant?

Nice sighting. Agree about the exposure. Wish the light was less harsh. Thanks for sharing.

Cute bird. Tough to get with a 250mm. Agree with the previous comments.
