Good pic!! look like a bigger bird than the crimson chat I get around the farm

Thanks for posting. Yet another species I am not familiar with. The Dutch call it Maskerschijnpaapje but I don't think any birds of ths species were ever exported to Europe, and if they were certainly have not stood the test of time there. I have been unable to find any reference to this bird in Europe. Would love to post this pic on a European forum though. Cheers, Case

nice shot. they move around a lot, I have I think one good pic out of about 60!

I remember the first time I seen them from a distance they looked like a double bar.
