Crimson Sunbirds are considered residents, while Flaming Sunbirds are Endemics of Luzon and Panay group of Islands in the Philippines.

John, please consider this two spotting be included in Mission - Wild Birds of the Philippines, and add Flaming Sunbird to mission - THE PHILIPPINE ENDEMIC SPECIES

Hi John! Please can you add the scientific name so that we can take this off of the "unknown" list & add a link (wikipedia etc) to the references. Because we have a global user base & sometimes many different common names for the same species, the system will continue to show a spotting as unidentified until the scientific name has been completed.

So it's possible to assign two missions on a single spotting?

Ashish Nimkar

No need split, assign both mission.

I agree that this spotting should be split into two, one for the color red mission and the other for birds of the word mission. But Ian, I am not sure if they are different species. The male and female sunbirds have different plumage, I think.
