Amazing set Ely, especially the Tailorbird! Wow! Merry Christmas! Thank you Sylvia. It turned out to be a fruitful day. I wonder why its called a Tailorbird. Would you happen to know the reason?

Apparently, these birds weave two leaves together to make a nest, hence the name "tailorbird". I have seen one and it looks like an ant's nest made out of leaves.

I have been told that this is not a Philippine Tailorbird but a Grey-Backed Tailorbird (Orthotomus derbianus). May I please know if anyone of you has something to say about the real name of this bird so that I can put the proper name on it. Thank you.

I have been told that the Philippine Tailorbird is actually a Gray-backed Tailorbird. Both are Endemic. I will leave it to the experts to explain the difference because I do not know what makes them different except what I have been told that the Philippine Tailorbird has some green feathers on its back.
I have also removed the name Visayan Flowerpecker because the red on the chest of the bird is round in shape. The correct name of this bird is Red-keeled Flowerpecker as the red is more elongated in shape.
I have made the changes in the spirit of doing what is suggested to be the correct names and looks. I hope I got it right. Thank you for all your suggestions. Mabuhay.
