The Visayan Shama (Only in Negros and Panay)

[Bobby Kintanar]

This photo will not win any contest, but the bird is a lifer for me and shot under very challenging conditions, too!

Another one for my records!

You're on a roll, Ka Bobby.... congrats on the lifer!

It looks like it was initially on an evolutionary course towards becoming a Pied Fantail, but stopped short.

Hahaha. I looked for it in the Kennedy Guide, but it was not there. I had to call Godo J. to find out its name. :-)

Very nice shot, Bobby. I didn't see this bird so I don't know the color. Looks like fantail.
