Extremely beautiful !!! Love how the bird (I would guess a male as females are normally dull in color) blends in with its surroundings (yellow leaf). Love it. Posted 10 years ago

The Purple-rumped sunbird

The purple-rumped sunbird is a sunbird endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. Like other sunbirds, they are small in size, feeding mainly on nectar but sometimes take insects, particularly when feeding young. They can hover for short durations but usually perch to feed.
