One of the most elusive and rare birds found in these parts of the world. This has been shot under extreme precarious light conditions as is evident from the EXIF details provided below. 

Thanks for the stop.

1 / 250s

f / 7.1

Nice pose and head turn, Biru! Looks very good for ISO 6400 on the D500.

Lovely rich colour and nice head turn showing the bright eye. Good detail in the low light, Biru!

Stunning image. Just curious. Is this a male or female? Thank you for sharing such an interesting bird.

This is a male. The females are a bit smaller in size and the colour isn't this bright.

The pose, the BG and the perch are perfect and made this photo very pleasant .
