Thanks Ashish. Just did a google search and got lost reading about different varieties of bee-eaters. Never knew there were so many types!

Blue tailed Bee-eater do not have such Red-Orange head so this is Green Bee-eater. Please keep this thing always in mind. So you can identify Blue tailed Bee-eater next time which has Green head.
