Field Notes

Description:

This looks a lot like the hornbill family that stays nearby, but I wonder if this is an immature adult or another specie I don't know of.

Thanks for the ID Sukanya. I guess it is a baby or young adult, because there is another full grown pair near the tree and they were much larger.
