Asian Fairy-bluebird
Irena puella
The Asian Fairy-bluebird adult male has vivid blue and velvety black plumage, with iridescent upperparts contrasting sharply with the dark face and underparts. Blue covers the back and rump, while the flight feathers, tail, breast, and belly are black; blue undertail coverts interrupt the otherwise dark underside. The bright blue crown and nape meet the black cheeks and throat along a sharply defined boundary.
