What a lovely close-up view you have here Ragoorao.

With the brown bill, I wonder if this one is a youngster - would you know?

Many thanks for showing him to us my friend.

Hello Delia Todd,

Your guess is right, it's a sub-adult. The scaly pattern on his white-bib also are juvenile features.

Regards.
Ragoo Rao.
