Male... not showing his belly, in this shot :) But he was a great model. I finished my card when I was photographing him, and I had to fetch a new card in the car. When I returned to the place, there he was, in the same place, posing in a beautiful light :)
Chopta, Uttarakhand, India
the distant himalayan ranges. a view from the top of the 4000 meters high chandrashila peak in chopta, uttrakhand; india.
Another poor photo, but it's the only one I got of this species...
Chopta - Uttarakhand - India
Species # 1243
A beautiful little redstart that was quite active in the evening. He flew from front of us to behind us giving this opportunity to shoot in golden light.
This is another Himalayan, cold weather bird and think we found it at its Southernmost point of residence in India. Its found much of southern china and parts of Myanmar.
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.

A brightly colored little redstart that was quite active in the evening. He flew from front of us to behind us giving this opportunity to shoot in golden light.
This is another Himalayan, cold weather bird and think we found it at its Southernmost point of residence in India. Its found much of southern China and parts of Myanmar.
We spotted it around several berry trees where there were a good number of insects. Also in the same area were several small mounds of Donkey/Wild horse manure which is used for hearth fires. And that also helps the bird in finding insects - a diet which is quite common to many redstarts / small birds in that area.
