    Note: "Spangled Drongo" is correct but it refers to 2 species:
    - Dicrurus bracteatus (Australia only)
    - Dicrurus hottentottus (Asia)

    Changed the ID to the Asian one.     Posted 4 years ago

      In the Moluccan islands both australian and asians species overlap See distribution comments here:

      Also D. hottentotus does not have red eyes and D. bracteatus has, same as in my picture. See here D. hottentotus description for comparison:

      Based on this I still think this is S. bracteatus. Can you correct it back if you would agree? Thanks!       Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

        I will change it back. You can discuss further with me if you still do not agree even though the links I send show clear distribution for D. bracteatus in Halmahera island including the area of Weda :-) Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
