Bird Nest

The bird quickly left this nest. I saw a flash of rusty brown. Whom do the eggs belong to? Thanks.

Just one serious question: Did you disturb the parents so they flew away...?
I don't think you need to take photo of the eggs for identifying the bird.

please do not disclose the location to anyone since breeding birds are very sensitive to human disturbance and the bird may abandon the nest or even the eggs/chicks in the worst case.

Thanks

No I didn't disturb the birds and I never disclose locations of nests. The nest is 1m off the ground on the side of a popular hiking trail. The nest photo could help identify the bird. I have a nest and egg field guide for where I'm from and it's quite helpful in sorting out the species.
