Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker (Dicaeum cruentatum ignitum) - 20240323-05

            Please, no invitations to award/forced comment groups or to those with large/animated comment codes.

One of many flowerpeckers in which the male is brightly-colored and the female is predominantly brown. Adult male is black and white from below, but above it is bright red from the crown down to the rump. The female, while largely dull, can be distinguished from other flowerpeckers by her bright red rump that is often visible when hovering and foraging. Juvenile lacks the red rump, but has a white throat and is a much darker brown above than the similar Plain Flowerpecker. A lowland species, often found in gardens with flowering and fruiting plants, particularly mistletoe. Often detected through its metallic ticking calls.  (eBird)
---------------
Seen or heard a few times during our visit to Singapore.  I do not remember seeing the boldly marked male at all, but we did succeed in seeing this female.  Unfortunately, her red rump is hidden by the seed pods, which are almost the same colour as her feathers.
