Nice capture Paux , but this isn’t a Green Broadbill , it looks like a female Blue-winged Leafbird .
Chloropsis moluccensis

Thank you for the comments. Before I posted this photo, I did consider whether the bird would be a female Blue-winged Leafbird. And I noted that the bill of a f. Blue-winged Leafbird was much darker than the bird I shot. I therefore thought it was more likely a female Green Broadbill. Meanwhile, this photo was taken at Taman Negara; I went through eBird's checklists recorded there and couldn't find any record of Blue-winged Leafbird.

The juvenile Leafbird has a pale bill.The Broadbill has a very short ,almost Parrot like bill . The Blue-winged Leafbird is quite widely distributed in Malaysia , but see what others say .
