Welcome to BF.
Could you give the actual location? - and the date. Thanks.
Tawny-bellied babbler? I suspect the colours of the photo are strongly oversaturated. No offence.

I don't know what it is but it sure is a beautiful bird!

I would second T b Babbler.

As descriptions often say 'surprisingly bright' or surprisingly orange the photo perhaps is not as oversaturated as stated.

Suggested. Not 'stated'.

The highlights on the branch are a little orange as well, so lighting or saturation may be a factor. Cute bird though!
