Olive backed Sunbird

The Olive-backed is tiny, more roundish with a shorter tail measuring only 11 cm long. The upper part is olive green which earns the bird its name. More significant would be the under part in bright yellow. The iridescent portion on this bird would be its fore head, throat and upper breast in blue-black. all these seen but that iridescent effect seen only in bright day light. On the male bird, there is actually an irregular thin rufous border to the black bib. Then, typical of all female Sunbird, this one also has plain colors.
This is a bird from the Andaman, South and south-west China, Greater Sundas, then the Philippines down to northern Australia. In Malaysia, no problem to see the bird. nearly all urban garden would have them visiting.
