The Thick-billed Flowerpecker (Dicaeum agile) is a tiny bird in the Dicaeidae. Like all flowerpeckers this species feeds predominantly on fruits and is an active bird mainly seen in the tops of trees in forests. It is a small flowerpecker only about 10 cm in length and has a dark stout beak and short tail. It is dark grey brown above and dull greyish with diffuse streaking on light buffy underparts. The bill is dark, somewhat stout and heavy and the iris is reddish. Like other flowerpeckers they feed mainly on berries, nectar but sometimes take insects. It is a resident bird with a wide distribution across tropical southern Asia from India east to Indonesia and Timor.
