Hi Peter,
This is a Rosy Patched Bush Shrike (Rhodophoneeous cruentes). Lovely Bird and shot. :toast:

Hi Peter,
No idea on the ID I'm afraid, I still struggle with British species :rolleyes: :smile: , lovely colurful looking species though, whatever it is.
Bit of a sharpening halo running along the birds back, easily ammended though, and once corrected would leave a very nice result.

I can't believe it's not called a cutthroat something or other. Still a fine shot.
