I returned from Malaysia with a bunch of pictures, and have problems ID ing some of birds'. Can somebody help please ?

My guess is this is some kind of barbet (lots of bristle feather at the beak's base, was hanging out next to a couple of Coppersmith Barbets):

This can be a spiderhunter, but which one?:

No idea about this one (but it's a common bird):

This is a fledgling, what are the parents?:

A friend of mine has I.D.'d the pics for you:
Fledgling - no idea.
The oriole is a female Black-naped oriole
The one hanging upside down is a Spiderhunter or Sunbird. Probably Thick-billed Spiderhunter based on size of bill.
The one above is a female sunbird, probably Red-throated sunbird.
The top one is Blue-eared barbet.

Beautiful country. Visited there about 4 times (husband was working there) in the early '90's.
Great shots, by the way. I've seen these birds but I cannot ID them. See any hornbills or flying foxes? Wish I had my present camera and lenses back then.
