This is the first of this bird, I belive, I have seen on the "Forum". Will add to "my favorites". Great shot. :up: :up:

Looking at this one it is known under quite a few names. "Orange-flanked Bush-robin, Siberian Bush-robin, Red-flanked Bush-robin, Blue-tailed Robin, Orange-flanked Bluetail"

Whatever name it is a beauty.

Agree with the above, this is an excellent shot! I too like the colors and think the dark tones really make the shot.
