Pintailed Parrotfinch (male)

Panoeng Thung, Kaeng Krachan NP, Thailand

Female is also in picture at the left side.

This bird has been high up my list of most wanted and I spent some time looking for it at Panoeng Thung and Khao Yai. Finally I got a short glimpse of it and managed to grab some frames but the bird was too far away. Anyway a stunning bird to see and I hope to encounter a full flock of these little beauties sometime in the future.
