Hi Matthias, nobody would go out wearing that colour combination, LOL, but on a bird?? It looks fantastic!
What a lucky man you are, for seeing it. M-L
This is a terrific photo. I'm sure that this bird has different colours to the birds down here on the northern rivers district of NSW.
Here the wings and back are olive and the bib is much darker (almost black). I wonder if it is a different race.
Very nice - beautiful colours captured. Thanks.
Great shot with ripper pose and detail. They sure make themselves noticed and they have interesting wars with Noisy Miners.
Cheers, Owen.
Great shot. I love the blue face on this species.

Thank you for all the great feedback!
@raysimula: You are right, according to Wikipedia the ones in the NT are a different subspecies compared to NSW.

Really sharp photo. Sometimes they come into our yard, to the banksias, but the noisy miners send them packing :(
