Blyth's Paradise-Flycatcher male

What a beautiful species! We only saw Blyth's Paradise-Flycatcher once on our Thailand trip, and that briefly, but such a sight! This a dorsal view of a rufous-morph male, with the very long tail streamers of a breeding bird. Females of both the rufous and white morphs have a rufous back and no tail streamers (thus looking similar to a nonbreeding rufous-morph male). This sighting was at a hide (blind) near Kaeng Krachan National Park, Phetchaburi province, Thailand.
