May I know if this is Erianthemum dregei?

These were growing on silk cotton trees.  Noticed three such plants.

Thanks.

Thanks for the correction Garg ji.

Yes, the flowers match D. falcata.

As given in the wikipedia page for D. falcata, I observed sunbirds and pale-billed flowerpeckers on the plant.  Here is a video of a flowerpecker on the mistletoe, taken yesterday: https://youtu.be/4MWAm_hcziM.

I also noticed a caterpillar, but missed taking a record shot.

Thanks.
