It's a Leafbird ( Chloropsis sp. ) but there are to little details on the picture to be sure which species.
 
It looks sick, too.
 
Thanks VC, you're correct of course about it being a Leafbird but having looked at a few pics on the net I can see why identifying it from this pic would be a problem. I'll try and post another pic but not sure that will help either.

Does it look sick?
 
Most birds don't droop their wings that way when perching, unless they are ill.

:p

I'm not your opinion Hix, I've seen loads of birds - completly healthy - sitting this way, so I don't think this one is sick :)
 
based on absense of contrasting blue primary wing feathers, black mask delimitation vs. eye, and beak size, this is a male greater green leafbird
