While waiting for our bus, I was taking pictures of butterflies in the Laxmi Vilas Palace Hotel Garden in Bharatpur, India. Then what I thought was a hummingbird showed up. It turns out that hummingbirds are not native to India. I think this is a Purple Sunbird. I will let others more knowledgeable about Indian birds confirm the ID. The Sunbird posed for several minutes.
