Pale billed flower pecker, Bangalore

This is also called as Tickell’s flowerpecker. One of the tiniest birds in India that feeds primarily on Nectar and berries found in south India and Srilanka. I have seen this bird frequent the singapore cherry tree frequently and the berry is mostly consumed as a whole.
