Purple-Rumped Sunbird (male)

These tiny - 10cm (4inch) birds are endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. They feed primarily on nectar, hovering for short durations, but are usually perched while feeding.

A wonderful image, Krish; everything is done so well, here, including the perch, pose, and colours. An amazing looking plant, for certain !

Love the way you framed this with a good view of the flower, and a nice behavior shot of the bird.

Even though this is a bird photo the plant steals the show for me in this image. The Sunbird adds an interesting element and fits in perfectly in the overall composition.
