A beauty, congrats !!!
Does anyone have any idea if a grey(er) cap means an immature, or a southern variation/subspecies ?
My eastern Central African LBRs have a green cap like this one, but I also have shots of a Botswanan LBR with a grey cap.
Thank you Clement for posting, as it reminded me of the above question.

Great image of a very beautiful bird Clement. Was this a setup or a field shot?

What a gorgeous shot, Clement. Love the composition with the bird peering across and back through the frame. Excellent work!

Often seen and photographed but this is one of the best shots I've seen of this lovely species, Clement. Superb image. Love it!
