The Chestnut-Capped Babbler(Timalia pileata) is found throughout central and Northern Thailand. The bird is quite small and not easy to photograph. It has a bright chestnut cap, black beak and black eye mask.
This photograph was taken as the sun was setting and does not clearly show the true colours of the birds main facial features that make recognition relatively easy. When viewed from a slightly different angle, after the bird moved, the chestnut cap was clearly visible which in this (possible juvenile) specimen looked like a broad chestnut stripe from the front to back of the head.
Equipment: Canon EOS 1000D 55-250mm Lens
