Nice Composition , Beautiful Bird ,in its Natural Habitat eying on berries.It appears to me(from Beak and Blue Colour of the Back) as one young 'Barbet'.Its difficult to specify whether 'Brown-headed' or ''Coppersmith'. However, I am inclined towards Coppersmith Barbet, a regular visitor to my Fruit bearing Trees. Your initiative is praiseworthy.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

thanks for the Id and encouraging words. I am very poor in identifying birds.

I like the overall habitat portrayed. Coppersmith barbet has a yellow eye ring. This one looks slightly whitish. Difficult colours. The White-cheeked barbet has pale beak like this one. I have no idea how juvenile brown-headed barbet looks. This might be a white-cheeked barbet.
