[ckf567]

Any kind soul would like to assist in identify this bird? I captured it this morning (11/4/2010) at the grassland between Chinese Gardens MRT station and the entrance of the CG.

Thanks, Kengoh. Appreciate your effort. I clicked the picture symbol and insert the photo from Flickr, but it did not work.
