- Reason
- Nice photo of a cool migrant. I got this shot after a tip off from another photographer I met in nearby Khao Yai National Park, where I slept the night on the way to see the Pitta. It involved waiting for a few hours in baking heat in front of a small waterhole in a sugar cane field.

- Comment Forget to add it to the page? Page is already pretty overillustrated, probably have to drop both of the previous male images, imho. — raekyt 15:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

- Weak oppose I hope it's not sacrilegious to say this cause I know your work is excellent. But it's the background I don't like. I prefer the female image on the same article in terms of clarity. As a large image, I can see the bird fine, but as a thumbnail on a Wiki article, the bird just blends right into the background. :( – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 02:44, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support Great details. The chosen same colour surroundings is part of its survival skills. JKadavoor Jee 06:26, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support. There is no problem discerning the bird against the background and it nicely highlights the throat patch. Chick Bowen 19:40, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support as per the other supports. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 17:32, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
