Megalaima haemacephala
This coppersmith barbet was in a tree right at the edge of a pond. Adjacent to a temple the tree is quite well frequented by people who consider it to be a sacred tree. So the bird seems to be well habituated to people and didn't fly away although I spent quite some time photographing...
