Driving me insane!

Need help identifying a bird...



This little guys was in an image macro and I have been trying to find out what he is for a while now. He looks a little like a bee-eater, maybe a sunbird..? I don't know... I only study Australian birdlife... So I suppose I'll look pretty silly if this turns out to be an Aussie bird. Even sillier if those colours were shopped for the macro

Either way, he's pretty cute :}

I believe it is a Rainbow Bee-eater.

Colours are wrong for a rainbow bee-eater... o.o

Eh, I'm leaning more and more toward 'shopped' but I just don't knoooow :c
I know the bird WAS shopped onto the branch for the macro... but why bother shopping the colours when you can just get a pic of a rainbow bird..? There are plenty out there.
