I have taken this shot on April 20 in Buldhana, Maharashra, India. Hope someone can help me identify this bird. I know this is not good snap.

Welcome to Whatbird! Looks like you have a Purple-rumped Sunbird.
EDIT:. Kryptos is probably right. I thought at this angle you wouldn't be able to see the underparts very well, but after a quick Google Image search I stand corrected. Disclaimer: I really shouldn't be multi-tasking. -_-
