Liocichla bugunorum

Though I enjoy birds, and keep a tally of those I have personally seen and identified, I don’t consider myself a diehard birder, chasing hither and thither when some species of bird I have not recorded is reported as being viewable in some area of the country.

Be that as it may, I was pleased to read, via The New York Times, that a new species of bird has been discovered in India.  The bird has been named Liocichla bugunorum.  To my eye, it reminds me of a Black-capped chickadee, with a more colorful style.  It’s a fine looking bird.
