These cuties are 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘢 munias photographed in #Sulawesi. Pale-headed is confined to #islands between Wallace & Weber Lines. Black-faced extends beyond Weber but doesn't cross Lydekker Line. The widespread Chestnut has a much paler head than populations I'm familiar w/ in the west

#Forests in #Sulawesi are inhabited by 2 non-parasitic #cuckoos: the unique Yellow-billed Malkoha & the arboreal Bay Coucal. It's understandable why the malkoha is placed in its own, monotypic genus.

#Sulawesi is the largest island where unrelated, red nectarivores like Myzomela & Crimson Sunbird occur together. Both sexes of Crimson Sunbird look very different from those W of Wallace Line. The pleasantly common Black & Sahul Sunbirds were lifers for me
