.... er ... well, it is kind of! Though The Chocolate Albatross is a common species for Thailand, it isn't that common where I hunt for butts and  each time I do see it, it annoyingly always sits on top of the trees soaking up the morning sun. This is the only shot I have of it so far which was obviously dead. Hopefully that will change very soon. Watch this space.

216. The Ceylon Dartlet (Oriens goloides) ???

This is definitely Oriens sp. and it looks extremely like O. goloides, which is found at close-by Phu Khieo WS, which is part of the same mountain range. Please advise if I am wrong.

Here with its wings slightly open.
