This tiny bird was seen only once on 8/3/2012. I got two images and not again in the last two days. Would appreciate educating me on the specie.

1/200; f5.6; ISO640; 100-400@400;

Looks like Asian brown flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica)

Do you have any other images? On second thoughts cud be subadult /1st winter male of red breasted flycatcher (Ficedula parva )as there seems to be some yellow on the throat and breast.:confused:

Nice image.I agree with Roopak Bhai's view, some colour spill over notwithstanding, it is a Juvenile Red-breasted Flycatcher.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

The bird was there for a fleeting second. The best in those conditions. I have been looking for this specie for last two days.

Regards
