Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush - (Monticola saxatilis)
Agreed, it does have a 'hint' of orange, but I was hoping to post something different from the last one :biggrin:

Off again tomorrow, so apologies if I do not respond to all until the beginning of June. Thank you ALL again for the comments on the recent postings, much appreciated.

Hi Steve,

Very nice image! Love the colours and detail in the subject! The background is quite subtle, yet allows the subject to pop very nicely! Lovely composition!

Hi Steve,
Great shot of a lovely bird. BTW it's an Orange-headed Thrush (Zoothera citrina) adult male of sub-species cyanotus with that head pattern.
Cheers,
Dave
