This pair of adult and immature male Figbirds were checking out the Silky Oak flowers. Female and immature Figbirds are sometimes mistaken for an Olive-backed Oriole as both have streaked underparts.

Pretty birds with their yellow belly. The eyes are neat too. Great photo.
That's certainly a great tree for attracting birds. Nice photo too.
I would have thought "Oriole" :)
Thanks for the explanation!
And nice catch :D!
...interesting looking birds. I love that huge ring around their eyes! (a very interesting tree too)
It's amazing how the young of some species don't even look like the adults. Nice photo Neil!
Thanks everyone for your comments.
apart from the birds, this is a very nice image.
Thanks Nature Footstep.
