Bird-fi - Now with chicks!

[That dude]

Recently, a bird has made the little garden outside my house as its home. I'd like to know more about this bird starting with what type/species of bird this is.

Here's a photo that I took of it:

It has a bit of yellow on its wings and body. Bird aficionados, I await your reply!

^Done. Still waiting for an answer though...

It looks a bit like some kind of wren. Where do you live, at least geographically speaking?

You could try WhatBird | identify birds | bird identification guide | north america

It's helped me identify a strange looking bird that was found awfully confused in my yard after a big storm passed through.

OTOH it completely failed to give me any clue as to the identity of the small, entirely black (all feathers, beak, feet, everything black) birds i saw frolicking in the shallows of a lake near my office. As black as a raven, but way too small, wrong beak, wrong tail, etc. whatbird.com utterly failed to give me any clues, kept suggesting birds with red or brown plumage.

Look like some kind of sandpiper

Crimson sunbird female gets my bet, It's even the national bird of Singapore.

Good call, I think that must be it. Although most pictures I've found of the crimson sunbird are crimson birds.

I had no idea that the national bird of Singapore is right outside my front door, I didn't even know Singapore had a national bird. Thanks for the help!

*Hmm, actually it may be a yellow bellied sunbird. I've got to really look at the bird again to check.
