Observation details
Continuing bird. After quite some time searching, managed to find it with just twenty minutes of daylight to spare Medium-sized bird, overall a lovely sapphire blue colour, brightest and most consistent on the head. Chest lightly flecked a dull brown, which was nearly solid on the mantle. Remiges a dull blackish slaty grey, tertials crisply edged a pale whitish tawny colour. Shoulder a rich chestnut brown, wing bar across greater coverts slightly duller. Bill heavy silvery grey, neatly bordered black at base. Very confiding, foraging near the ground picking seeds out of vegetation, sweeping its tail back and forth constantly.
