Such a beautiful bird and an equally beautiful capture.

Think this a hybrid of the ssp flaviventris and vieilloti . Happens frequently in that part of the country.( Hybrid zone )

What a lovely spot David. Such attractive birds but he couldn't have been too easy to see and focus on in there.

Excellent work lad.

May I wish you and your family a very happy 2019.
