Praveen Bhai,
It happens in our anxiety to place it before a wider audience.I know,you are clear in your mind about the IDs.Same thing happend in case of first photograph of Common Hawk Cuckoo.I politely try to point out so that your records remain fool-proof,not to find any fault,believe me.
Kind regards,
SaktiWild

Nice sighting. It blends with the habitat nicely. Reducing the sharpening and the saturation would be good. Wish it was closer. Thanks for sharing.
