Thank you for all the kind words. Male or female? I think it is a male. I had help from this very forum to identify the bird

Kind regards and happy birding

Okay, thank Aladdin and this extreme rarity has been added to the Opus article with much thanks guy!
 
i only got a record shot for it, as it lives in the mountain city of Taif, i am hoping i can go in the coming days and get a better shot, but it will not be as beautiful as this fabulous capture.
 
A fabulous close up of this lovely bird, Aladdin.
