Pale Spiderhunter
Arachnothera dilutior Sharpe, 1876
Nectariniidae — Sunbirds
Pale Spiderhunter, Arachnothera dilutior, is a passerine in the sunbird family found in Palawan in the south-west Philippines. It is restricted to that island and lives in primary lowland forest and second growth, with occasional use of secondary growth and banana plantations. It is a member of a group once treated as one species with the little spiderhunter and orange-tufted spiderhunter, but it was split as a separate species in 2010. It is set apart by its darker bill, longer tail, dark lores, and a strong eyering, with grey underparts and yellower wing edges.
