Prionodura newtoniana
The mature male is a golden-olive brown colour, with golden yellow underparts, crown and nape. He has an unusual feather structure that refracts light to produce pure white highlights on the plumage. When younger, the male looks the same as the female. Both have a golden iris. The female, less conspicuous than the male, is olive-brown with ash-grey below.

Thanks Muckpuk, the bird had a small fruit which it placed in the bower.
Pretty bird!
Beautiful bird and great shots Mac. Great shot of it with a trinket for its bower. I would love to see one of these birds! Still on my list of birds to see ha ha. Thank you for sharing :)
What a lovely little bird! And your second picture is my favourite. What did he have in its beak?
