White-tailed Rubythroat
A White-tailed or Himalayan Rubythroat. The guide gave us a mouth-watering list of birds we might see in Corbett NP, I asked about this species. He didn't exactly say 'no chance' but his expression said a big 'no'. I noticed a flash of white on the tail of a bird as we were driving along a forest ride and shouted to stop. A bit of 'pishing' and this beauty popped up!
