Brown-backed (upper) - Silver-backed (lower)

These birds are very fast flying and were seen in the evening to visit this pond at Khao Yai NP to drink and bathe.  They can only be distinguished by the colour on their back or saddle.  Hence, I decided to present these two birds with identical photographs.
