Please confirm ID: Chesnut-Breasted Malkoha. The book picture shows the ring around the eye in red and the bill a shade of blue, but that could be due to mating colors. This was taken at Aviary, Wings of Asia, Miami Metro Zoo. This bird has the habit of stealing the mice form the food cart :lol:

This bird is always eating! I don't know the name, but excellent capture. Great detail in the bird! Nice shot.

See the link for pictures of a Chestnut-breasted Malkoha:

Unless this is what a female looks like, I don't think its a Malkoha.

A fine in-your-face shot, Fab. I wish for more DOF and would have considered pushing the ISO to 1600 and then using noise reduction, e.g., Noise Ninja 2.

Nice close up, good colors, maybe just a bit more DOF. :D
