The Temminck's sunbird is
found in Borneo, Sumatra, Malaysia, and south west Thailand in tropical or
tropical moist lowland forests. I was lucky to spot this guy on my recent trip
to the Borneo Highlands.

The male is the brighter
one -seen in these pictures — he mostly scarlet, except for a greyish belly,
yellow and purple bands between the back and tail, and four purple bands on the
head emanating from the beak which are very distinctive.
The female is drab olive,
except for rufous fringes to the wing and tail feathers. I will post pictures
of the female later.
