Observation details
Continuing bird in northeast corner of gardens; working a circuit centred around 11.4200394, 76.7138845 (near small ponds). An absolute stunner - bright orange-red throat and upper breast, grading paler on lower breast to whitish rear underparts. Neat black line on neck & breast sides with ash grey above this & onto lower ear coverts, olive brown on rest of upperparts with prominent pale eye ring. Bill looked mostly yellowish, with dark only on upper side of upper mandible. Very vocal at times, sound recorded.
