Lineated Barbet

Lineated Barbet

I visited Suan Rot Fai this morning to search for what is increasingly looking like an Ogilvie-Grant's Leaf Warbler that was photographed there on 17th January.  This obscure phyllosc is, I believe part of the "Blyth's complex" but the taxonomy and distribution seems to be somewhat confused (at least, I feel confused by it). There was no sign of the warbler, but I managed to pull out a patch tick in the form of a Lineated Barbet, a mid-winter wonderer, and my first mid-winter record of Siberian Blue Robin. The only other notable bird was a Pale-legged/Sakhalin Leaf Warbler.
