Bad day (Edited to not so bad day)

One of the pains of shooting wildlife is that the subjects may choose to be absent. Still, the only way to go is to press on. Meet another new bird (Actually 2).

Edited: The first new bird was mistaken as a juvenile Aian Glossy Starling. It was a Coppersmith Barbet. It is supposed to a "tonk" sound but as I did not expect a new bird or a bird to make such an odd sound, I did not record it.

If you ignored the coloured head, it looked like a juvenile Aian Glossy Starling.

Edit:
I got a better shot here.

The crest on its head, the long tail and the white neckband gave this bird's identity away.

Shooting blindly. You can just make out its tail.
