Just a record shot of the striking male bird.
About 20 years ago, I can still see this species in Penang but not anymore. Now, it is locally extinct.

Thanks, Jack. Yes, you're right - the females are pretty also but all my shots of the females are not good enough for posting.

I heard from a friend there are quite a number of them at Tasik Melati, also in Perlis.
