Immature Philippine Falconet at Subic rainforest

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Got quite close to an immature Philippine Falconet today (July 21st) at Subic rainforest. Note the "golden buff cheek" and " yellowish bill" (as described in the Kennedy Guide).
These distinguish it from the adult, which has a white cheek and black bill.
