Sorry for poor photo quality, but I was unable to identify this bird. Free flying in the Tropical Realm, 14th August 2015

Roughly starling-sized, with a medium-length tail. The thing that most confused me was the downward-curving beak; when I first saw it, it reminded me of a bee-eater!
 
I have no idea - but I can muddy the water a little more by suggesting that the curved beak might be an abnormality, perhaps a little overgrown and more curved than usual :(

when I tried to lighten the picture on my PC it seemed to have a lightish blue breast and belly and yellow tail.
 
Possibly a female fairy bluebird I'm sure one had a slightly overgrown bill.
