Unfortunately I've never managed to photograph this species in
the full breeding plumage which gives it the name, strikingly black and white with a yellow
hindneck. Both sexes are similar, females slightly larger. Widespread in southern Asia, this was taken in Goa where it
is a fairly common species, other populations are migratory, and move south, with a few reaching the southern part of the Arabian Peninsular.
