Name for this Bird?

Took this shot when I was at the Singapore Jurong Bird Park, South Asian Birds Aviary. Too engrossed in photo-taking till forgot to find out the name for this bird which I took using Provia 400F.

Shot taken using F80, Sigma 50~500mm at 500mm f/6.3 1/125 with Flash on Provia 400F. Scanned using Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 3.

Thanks in advance.

What you have there is a Silver-eared Mesia (Leiotbrix argentauris). Nice colorful bird. Worth the effort to drag your big lens around. Try getting closer and take many shots!
