Cute? A highly sought after bird among serious birders that comes to Borneo. This one is a male.<br />
A photographer friend was at this same location a week before me and failed to see this bird for 3 days in a row, despite being guided by a very experience bird guide.  Fortunately, he extended his stay to join me for a macro trip, but we also tried to do some birding during the day, and for 3 days in a row, we saw this bird including a female :D Bird,Harpactes whiteheadi,Malaysia,Sabah,Trogon,Whitehead's Trogon Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
