A shy bird that remains hidden in the undergrowth where they hop and pick insects on the forest floor.
After numerous attempts finally got him on a clear perch.

Very good effort and not an easy bird to get. Wish the bird was a bit brighter.

Nice image and yes, brighter and larger image would have been nicer to look at.

Sandeep, I feel the pain trying to get these kinds of birds in the open. It looks like it might have been over sharpened?

Judging by your techs, it was pretty dark. Thin that you did remarkably well.
