This beauty was dancing around small muddy puddle on the outskirts of Wilpattu late in the afternoon. In my haste to get closer for a better shot, I was impatient and missed an opportunity to do proper justice to its beauty.

Pitta brachyura
Photographed inside the Cinnamon Wild hotel in Yala, this beauty made my day bright. I almost missed her in the underbrush as one does not pay a lot of attention to whats on the floor. It was my lucky day. What a beautiful bird.
