Numerous Crimson-breasted Flowerpeckers came. Predominantly immature males & females (also adult females and adult males). Feeding was by tearing the flesh of the fruit. This photo is of an immature male. The adult male plumage is developing, and right now looks “scruffy”. The orange-red forehead “beauty spot” is just developing as is the brilliant central chest orange-red “flash”. - Amar
