I Had my doubts about this being a migratory bird, but wiki states that it is found in India.
Yes..cute as always, please put close images on front.
Glad to help :)

I was thinking either the Siskin, or the Yellow-Breasted Greenfinch (Carduelis spinoides). Looking at it now, YBGF seems like a better choice.
Is this bird at size of Myna...?
Satyen.. please crop this image and upload separate image with closer look. This may help to identify this cute bird...!!
Liam... are you sure..? http://www.avesphoto.com/website/na/species/SISEUR-1.htm
