It's a female minivet, either Scarlet Minivet or the recently 'split' Orange Minivet,not sure on range.

Female Scarlet.

IOC have split Orange flammeus of W & S India, Sri Lanka from Scarlet which now becomes P.speciosus but this is not yet recognised by HBW. So its a Scarlet whichever taxonomy you choose to follow.

On the IOC list generated by 'Scythebill, flammeus appears as Orange Minivet so how isn't it a tick for those that use the IOC Grahame?
