Lovely shot, James. Much appreciated.
You do not need to post your photos in this forum as well as the gallery, we can use photos posted in the gallery for the database as well as this forum (even easier in the gallery). This is mainly an overspill forum for when you have already reached the maximum photos you can upload to the gallery in a day (currently 3 per day).
Regards,
Andy

KC,
Now I know why I was getting the newest bird in database as Garrulax affinis - I guess it was you while you deleted it right after I had linked the photo. If that is the case I will now delete the post that I just put up about a possible glitch in the Database. Do you confirm this?

Yes Steve. I did search after search looking for this particular bird. I searched the internet ad nauseum and the closest I came was the black-faced. Once I saw the proper latin name I was able to correct it.

That is a superb photo, even has the "catch light" in the eye of the bird! Great Job!
