Lovely image. Nice pose. IDs are clear, but I do not know why bill is not black. May be, it was caged for some time. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice pose. Looks like it is about to fly. This might have been caged. Or did someone try to capture this bird? Where in Munnar did you sight it? Thanks for sharing.

The pose and the low angle looks nice. The clean background adds to the image. It is good that if it was tied it has got away. It is a free bird now :). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all. Yes it was about to fly off, this was taken near the Tata tea estate in Munnar.
