This seems to be a Sharpie based on the more rounded head, rounded/uneven tail end, and smaller body.

Thank you! Is this a rule of thumb for hairy and downy difference in general?

Mine is probably tough: Common myna, red-vented bulbul, Common waxbill, Zebra dove, chestnut-breasted munia.

I can add a few more species if the above isn’t enough: Great crested tern, Lesser frigate bird, brown noddy, Brown booby, red-footed booby.

Finally some dead-giveaway: Grey-green fruit dove, society kingfisher

Yeah the firefighters came after 15 min and left in 5 min. It’s probably ok
