Should probably sort the species into alphabetical order - there doesn't seem to be any sort of order to them at the moment.
The CRC Handbook of Avian Body Massses, Second Edition (Dunning 2008) has the Lovely Sunbird at 3–5.3 g (mean of ten 4 g), compared to 4–6 g (mean of six 4.8 g) for the Black-bellied Sunbird (assigned to the genus Cinnyris there), credited as the smallest here. Extra noteworthy, since the Lovely Sunbird also appears to be the smallest Passerine according to the book – though there's a single weight of 3.5 g for the Chinese Leaf-warbler (asP. sichuanensis). The Short-tailed Pygmy Tyrant is listed at 4.5–6 g. --Anshelm '77 (talk) 03:12, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
