Yes, considered this. My problem is this.....I put up another set of LBB, same area but looks like different bird. It was identified by someone as Chestnut-rumped Thronbill. However in reference book I have, and know they arent pefect, the Chestnut-rumped has white just above bill and the Buff-rumped has brown...which is exactly opposite to how have been identified on here..........I am no expert at all, just trying to learn...any thoughts?
Buff-rumped has the yellowish underparts and flanks which is one of the main distinguishing features here. Chestnut-rumped has dull brown underparts and a chestnut-rump.
Buff-rumped Thornbill I'd say.
I'll second that

There is no way this can be a chestnut-rump.
