Observation details
Continuing bird firstly reported by Ozzie at the same location. I did observed this individual two times at the same area and their color is kind of different (could just be lighting). One I photographed is with greener head and the one in my video recording is obviously gray-headed. Both observation suggests this bird like to stay hidden in low vegetations with little movements. Given I have not been authorized to upload video recordings yet, only photos and snapshots attached for reference. From the plumage (bright green back and gray head), I'd assume it is an adult retaining a good portion of breeding plumage. The yellow wash from throat to chest/flank is probably an indicator of female or male molting into non-breeding plumage?
