A Sirkeer Malkoha Hiding in a tree - a photo on Flickriver

            My 8th Cuckoo species for the season - this one is a non-parasitic cuckoo. i.e. it does not practice brood parasitism or lay eggs in other birds nests. Also occasionally referred for fun as "Lipstick bird".
Noticed this on a clear perch on the side of the road by my partner on the dense forest road, but by the time I stopped my vehicle and picked up my camera, it flew away and hid in the tree.
I like the photo since it shows the bird trying to hide, but I am also not sure how good it is. What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your views and /or feedback. Much appreciated.
