Observation details

Juvenile Mountain Tailorbirds Phyllergates cucullatus On 21st September 2023, at Gunung Brinchang, Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia, I had an opportunity to see a number of juvenile Mountain Tailorbirds Phyllergates cucullatus. There are not that many observations or images of juveniles. In the Macaulay Library 6 images out of 664 are of juveniles (2 are of an immature bird, the other 4 of older juveniles). The first bird shown is of a dependent juvenile, still being fed by adults. The next two images are of a juvenile that was self-feeding with no adults around. The last image is of an adult parent of the first bird for comparison. Juveniles lack the orange-chestnut present in the anterior cap to mid-crown of the adults. They have an olive-grey crown with grey at the nape. The underparts are pale yellow compared to the bright yellow of adults. The olive of the upperparts is duller. The iris appears brown.
