By name is still green

Can one ever not want to meet flycatchers like the Green-backed Flycatcher)(Sambar Belakang-hijau) again and again?

How does one explain the delight of a repeat avian encounter, even a commonplace one?

What's in a name?
Straightforward and to the point, a transliteration of green-backed, a bird named by the colour of its plumage.  Also known as Sambar-Kunyit Hijau, 'kunyit' being turmeric, by this it's one of yellowish-green colour.
