Romy,
You're right absolutely. Beak is much too long for the Pygmy FP, among other things.

After more close up pics of the Buzzing Flowerpecker on March 29, 2005, I have revised the ID of this image to Buzzing FP, instead of Pygmy FP.

Romy,
Other views and comments welcome here. I think this is Dicaeum - possibly Pygmy Flowerpecker.
