what type of bird is that? I luv the color
Definition of Verditer - either of two pigments, consisting usually of carbonate of copper prepared by grinding either azurite (blue verditer) or malachite (green verditer). So I guess this bird is the colour of blue verditer!
Thank you Malcolm Wilton-Jones for the ID. Can you tell me why is it called Verditer ? any meaning of this common name ?
Harsuame, there is no need to add a second suggestion the same as a previous one, all you need to to is click on the plus sign in the top, right corner of the original suggestion. I will correct it for you in this case, but you will need to click on the +1 box..
Confirmed it is a summer visitor to that area and it matches the plumage. It is a very good picture also, well done. Also, I believe it is a male, the female is duller. I have seen these in the mountains of Malaysia.
Looks like a Verditer Flycatcher but I'll do some checking before confirming.
