Silver-breasted Broadbill

Photographed this beautiful bird in Manas NP, Assam and also observed their courtship dance. This is a female one and the female has a tiny white ring in her neck.

Wonderful image. The female bird, as if deserved the diamond necklace gifted by Nature. Forty years back I had been to Manas, promised to come back next year. It did not happen. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild
