What a beautiful picture!!!

For such a 'large' bird, we don't have too many pictures in the Gallery Robby. The current picture in The Opus is an Indian subspecies, so I'll add your picture as it is from SE Asia, you wouldn't happen to know which of the two subspecies it is would you?

P. v. clamator (mayri): North-eastern Assam, northern Burma, south-western China (western Yunnan) and north-western Thailand

or

P. v. virens (indochinensis): Central Burma and south-eastern China to north-central Thailand and northern Vietnam

Not to worry if you don't though.

Many thanks for sharing him with us my friend.
 
A lovely setting for this great bird, Robby.
