Megalaima haemacephala
It's a small bird..and it makes a sound which is like hitting a half filled pot n it resounds and has a 3d effect...it chirps continuosly in short beeps... beautiful to see n hear :) I like the 2nd photo..
it's quite a green place here...
i found it pecking the tree, perhaps in search of insects..
