Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker

The scarlet-backed flowerpecker is a small, short-tailed bird, 9 cm long and 7–8 g, found up to 1,000 m in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, wooded areas and gardens. It is sexually dimorphic: the male has navy-blue upperparts, face, wings and tail with a broad bright red streak down its back from the crown to the upper tail coverts, while the female and juvenile are predominantly olive-green (Wikipedia, general species account).

It has been observed feeding on the figs of Ficus fistulosa and F. grossularoides in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in Singapore. It weaves a pouch-shaped nest hanging from a branch high in a tree, with a side entrance typical of the flowerpecker family (Wikipedia, general species account).
