Dear AURÉ,

Formidable photo, complementary in class and colours
to MARTINEZ J.'s great shot from same region 29th May
2010,
of this Linnet-sized bird (13 cm, only).

PS:
In Kasmierczak, 'Birds of the Indian...' 2000, the voice
of Red-billed L. is described as a

'RATTLING BABBLE' vs. a 'BABBLING RATTLE'
for L. argentauris (Silv. Mesia).

Nice to remember when birding in Tonkin...

Thx and Smile ............. Yours C.
