A striking bird perched on a tree branch. The bird has a vivid mix of colors: its body is primarily deep blue with some white and black patches, especially around the face and chest. The tail is long and elegant, mostly blue with lighter, whitish tips. Its legs and feet are a bright red-orange, matching its beak, which is also a vibrant reddish-orange. The eye is yellow and prominent, standing out against the darker feathers on its head. Surrounding the bird, the tree has a rough, textured bark, and green foliage adds a natural backdrop. The overall setting suggests a lush, forested environment.

Red-billed Blue Magpie

If I was designing this bird, I’d make the head fully black, but the Red-billed Blue Magpie (Urocissa erythroryncha) is still a strikingly coloured bird. And look at that tail!
