Orange Flanked Bush-robin

Please confirm id.

 

I think this is an Orange Flanked Bush-Robin Tarsiger cyanurus at Shivpuri (near Rishikesh), Uttaranchal, India. 23rd February, 2008.

 

This would be my first sighting of this species and it was doing everything it could to convince me it was a Blue flycatcher of some sort, including staying in the vicinity of a Rufous  Bellied Niltava (also a lifer for me).

 

These little creatures sure know how to make photographers work hard :)

 

Thanks,

Abhishek.
