This is a common bird in Mt. Kinabalu park. It a mountain bird found at 900 to 2900 meters and is endemic to Borneo. Olive green on top with yellow underparts. When I would see this bird it would not sit still and pose. But I saw it eating a worm it perched in one spot and was able to take a few shots.

What you said sounds familiar if you compare it with the Golden-bellied flycatcher that we have here. There seems to be some resemblance if you compare. Beautiful capture. Well done Tonji. Mabuhay.

When I compare the two birds the color is kind of similar but the GBFE has a soft pale yellow color this bird has a much brighter yellow. It is also much bigger around 6cm bigger than the GBFE. But they are indeed both very active and resist our urges to pose.  |

Thanks Edu and Ariel. It was one of the most fun birding trips I've had yet. Here is the Bornean Mountain Whistler with the worm I mentioned. At first I thought it was bubble gum because of the colors. But then I realized that maybe even the worms here are colorful!
