 These pictures are remarkable as Malcolm and I were at several feet apart in the hide and light on the bird between pictures taken at the same time show very clearly the iridescent changing of colour with even slight changing of camera position. Malcolm's pictures show the feathers as almost brown!

This must be polarization of light reflected back to the camera from the highly glossy plumage? Very similar effect when you photograph the Glossy Starling in Africa.
