    I guess "Rainbow-bearded and rainbow-backed thornbill" would have been too wordy. Posted 2 years ago

      Yep, and I was surprised about its back having such large and intense rainbow pattern. I think it's just not commonly seen from this angle with the wings spread, could not find a similar photo. Posted 2 years ago
