Canopy dweller ... in open

Another rarity captured
during recent
visit to the
Western Ghats ...

Only 2 images came
to the Gallery in
last 6 years ...

Encounter at day-break
was briefest ... just
yielding one
presentable shot out of
three ... giving
good view of the plumage
and that characteristic
bill ...
and that
little head turn was
the saving grace ...

This is the nominate
subspecies ...
