The Long-billed Spiderhunter is a large spiderhunter known for its exceptionally long, strongly decurved bill and drab olive-green plumage. It is typically found in dense forests.
Where to spot
Widespread across Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo, Java), and Brunei, inhabiting primary and secondary forests.
How to spot
Look for its exceptionally long, curved bill and drab plumage. It moves somewhat deliberately through the understory and mid-story. Listen for its distinctive loud, clear calls, often a repeated 'sweet-sweet'.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most visible during morning and late afternoon when foraging. Often found near large flowering plants or feeding on fruit.

It possesses one of the longest bills relative to its body size among all sunbirds and spiderhunters, an adaptation for reaching nectar deep inside long, tubular flowers.
