[[start of page]] llies, at least, are spending all or most there time eating fruits.  Especially small greenish berry-like fruits.  
[[margin, in red]] Laf [[margin]]
  Eventually, Whitestart stops chasing Laf.  Laf stops singing Some seconds later, Whitestart sings some more.  Then shuts up. 
  Group now moving thru extremely varied scrub-edge road.  Small trees, large bushes, and some bamboo.  Rather surprisingly, the Laf continues to accompany the group for some appreciable distance.  Laf quite silent now.  
  Then I see that one Whitestart is chassing and attacking the other. Chases with "CN"s and/or "SHN"s but no song.  I presume that the aggressive bird is the same one who chased Laf earlier.  It is interesting that [[underline]] both [[/underline]] cases of inter-specific hostility seen in mixed flocks in this region have been clearly associated with intra-specific hostility (viz the Sittis  see yesterday or the day before). 
  Now group flies across road.  [[underline]] Basileuterus [[/underline]] and/or [[underline]] Hemispingus [[/underline]]  types [[underline]] definitely [[/underline]] in lead.  [[underline]] Everything [[/underline]] else can be said to be following, and following [[underline]] repeatedly [[/underline]].  I can't see much of the order of precedence crossing the road.  But certainly the PL, the Whitestarts and the Yellow-bellies do [[underline]] not [[/underline]] come immediately after the [[underline]] Basileuterus [[/underline]] and/or [[underline]] Hemispingus [[/underline]] types. 
[[margin]] [[in red]] CY Laf [[/red]] [[in green]] 44 [[/green]] [[/margin]]
  Then Cy joins ------> group.  Sings repeatedly, perched 10 ft up in small tree.  Laf and Whitestart silent at the time.  (There certainly have been absolutely no overaps Whitstart and/or Diglossini Songs at any time in this flock.)  
  As far as I can tell, there are no particularly close associations between any two species within this flock.  Certainly the Diglossini are not associating with one another.
