The bird is a Verditer Flycatcher – Male – The photo was taken at Niglat, Bhowali in Nainital, (Uttarakhand).

During the birding trail in the Himalayan Botanic Garden 7 km from Nainital on Kaladungi road, I received the Uttarakhand Forest Department brochure via tour guide that talks about Common Birds of Nainital via Photos (by Amit Verma, IFS) and Birding Sites in Nainital.
