Spotted
A very small and inconspicuous flowerpecker, the Plain Flowerpecker is characterized by its dull olive-green plumage and a relatively short, stubby bill. It is easily overlooked due to its plain coloration and quick movements.
Where to spot
Widespread across South and Southeast Asia, including India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Found in forests, open woodlands, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for very small, fast-moving birds in the canopy or mid-story of fruiting trees. Its bland plumage makes it difficult to spot, so listen for its high-pitched 'tsip' calls.
When to spot
Active year-round, particularly in the morning and late afternoon when foraging for fruits and nectar.

Despite its name, the Plain Flowerpecker is remarkably efficient at dispersing the sticky seeds of mistletoe, a vital ecological role it plays in its forest habitat.
