Nectariniidae Whitehead's spiderhunter Arachnothera juliae
deinonychus commented on the word spiderhunter
I think it sounds like a fantasy character, but Wikipedia says:
"The spiderhunters are birds of the genus Arachnothera, part of the sunbird family Nectariniidae. The genus contains eleven species found in the forests of south and southeastern Asia. They are large representatives of the sunbird family, with drab plumage and long strongly curved bills. They feed on both nectar and a range of small arthropods."
