Oh!! I thought for a minute that was a youngster with him... but it's not, is it!!

Would it be another Fantail Martin... a super picture this showing the interaction between them.

It is another fantail Delia fighting over what I started to call
'the posing log'. I've caught about half dozen different birds
fighting over this perch.

Thanks Martin, I've added the scientific name for the fantail to your picture details.

It's always interesting to see different species interacting in a picture.
