Lovely picture of a lovely bird.
It has to be a cousin of the European Robin, one of my favourite birds in my garden in London http://g4.img-dpreview.com/095441CBC0554FCCBD264BF3B0FA3B88.jpg.
I actually grew up in Murree on the other side of the border.
PS apologies for butting in

Hi Rajiv, How did you manage to get so close? Everything will fly away when I am in 5~10m range.
This shot was taken in a garden where the birds are used to human presence. When I was shooting this, there was another bird sitting on branch about foot above my head .
