Naked-faced Spiderhunter (Arachnothera clarae)
…a species of spiderhunter (Arachnothera spp.), a genus of sunbirds, named for the patch of bare skin it shows along its face. Naked-faced spiderhunters are endemic to the Philippines where they inhabit subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Like other spiderhunters, naked-faced spiderhunters indeed eat spiders and are able to pluck them from the center of their webs. They are also known to feed on other arthropods and sometimes even nectar like other sunbirds.
