I wish I was in te humid tropics still....I am back in Belgium for a month already..but I think your cure still should work haha! Thanks! :-)

Colds can be nasty in the humid tropics. My cure was hot honey and lemon with navy rum or brandy before bed and plenty of salt the next morning. Indian curries are good cures also.

I have better pics from this bird in Sepilok..I did not remember the type of tailorbird..and I am with a tremendous cold at the moment so I don´t even know what am I looking at in the bird list haha... :-)

Strange lighting you have on the wings here Marta, looking into sun and you got the suns reflection on the lens. Lightroom can usually fix it.
The rufous tail makes this a Rufous-tailed, the Ashy has a grey tail. Best picture is in the book by Wong Tsu Shi.
