Those big "eyes" and the back of that pointy body looks like the face of an Owl and would make a small bird think twice before an attack. A very nice and interesting picture,Alok.
 
One species that is abundant here....and hope things will stay that way!!! Excellent capture with vibrant colors and makes for a lovely close up!!! Superb post Alok & Renu!!!
