Tickell's Blue Flycatcher?
I photographed this at Ranganaththittu last month. It was very quick and the light was tricky. I got this image in the 2-3 seconds when it was perched on the bamboo. On the right there were some ropes tied, so I had to compose with tight spacing on the right to just include the tail in full.
The Tickell's Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis tickelliae) is a small passerine bird in the flycatcher family. This is an insectivorous species which breeds in tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka to Indonesia. They are blue on the upperparts and the throat and breast are rufous. They are found in dense scrub to forest habitats.
