Female Olive-backed Sunbird [Also known as Yellow-bellied Sunbird] - Scientific name: Cinnyris jugularis

Tired of searching for the tiger inside the forest, we were returning back to exit the gate of Ranthambhore National Park. Even though disappointed to miss any tiger sighting, seeing peacocks, deer, rabbits, owls, monitor lizards, etc. in their natural habitat was highly pleasing for the soul. This female Olive-backed Sunbird was yet another delight out there. Chirping and swiftly flying here-n-there, sitting back on the same branches, it was truly a joyous being. Fortunately, the pretty little bird allowed some good photographs. One out of those is above in this post.

Olive-backed Sunbird is also known as Yellow-bellied Sunbird. Its scientific name is Cinnyris jugularis.
