Nope, in Dunce's corner, the lot of you I'm surprised that nobody got it tbh.

When we saw this bird in N. Thailand it was Red-faced Liocichla Liocichla phoenicea, it got split and is now Scarlet-faced L. ripponi.

To pre-empt the obvious question, the bird spontaneously dropped the whole set of undertail coverts in the hand, not my hand btw.
