nice spotting !!

You are all correct. To be very picky: It is Parthenos sylvia philippinensis, Brown Clipper. The Blue Clipper is actually Parthenos sylvia lilacinus, which is a different subspecies. Please, change your common name in Brown Clipper to avoid misunderstandings. Here is a wonderful Blue one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jerneedog/4381040696/
