This is a Chestnut headed bee eaters (Merops leschenaulti) , i have never noticed any difference between the males and females of this species.
The image was made last week from a car window , handheld since the bird was above me and i needed some height so had to leverage the hands to get it up as high as possible.
I did make a few images in the 2 days with a few different catches.
5D MIII + 400 f 2.8 + 2x TC
1/800, ISO 1000, f 7.1 with a +1/3 to expose the colors right
I know i have not got the tail in focus however to get it in focus i needed drop my shutter speed and 1/800 was the last i afforded handheld in that angle .
127759
i tried a images with ISO 2000 and noticed the yellows blowing out most of the times hence the choice of 1000 , also no real estate left under the bird so was not possible to extend the canvas.
C & C are welcome
