Saxicoloides fulicatus
The male is blackish with white shoulder patch and rusty red colour near the vent. The tail is cocked up in a jaunty manner.
Saw this one on a patch of wasteland just outside the ancient Sun temple at Modhera.
The distinctive white shoulder patch is not always easily visible ...its visible extent can vary with posture.
