I will be travelling to Flores in Indonesia in coming months and was
wondering if anybody could tell me what the best field guide for there would
be.


Hi Mark

As far as I'm aware, the only contemporary guide for the Sundas is:

Coates, B.J. & Bishop, K.D. (1997). /A guide to the birds of Wallacea: Sulawesi, The Moluccas and Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. / (Dove Publications: Alderley QLD).

It is unfortunately something of a doorstop (big & heavy), but probably comparable to the Pizzey Australian guide in that respect.
