These small colorful birds are resident throughout the year but they are kind of hard to spot and are specific to thick canopy and large trees. The males are quite colorful with a bright reddish orange plumage while the females are a bit dull brown and white. They prefer insects and caterpillars and are often sighted hunting for them. Again, social birds often seen in groups of half a dozen or more.

I find the bird is quite challenging to shoot as it moves very fast and quite often barely sitting in one place.
