Green Avadavat female aka Green Munia (Amandava formosa)
(The male of the species can be seen here:
https://plus.google.com/+JasbirSRandhawa/posts/eaXw9GgsHRb )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_avadavat
Classified as "Vulnerable" in The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

A Crazy Birder friend (+S S Cheema) and I drove 19 hours each way last month [he did the driving, since it was his car!] from Chandigarh, just to photograph this bird in Mount Abu, Rajasthan State, N. India (one of very few places where this species can be seen, with a little bit of luck)
Happy Birthday +S S Cheema! :-)
