I look better from this angle.. &quot;Copsychus Saularis&quot; - commonly known as Oriental Magpie-Robin is a commonly found passerine bird across the Indian sub-continent and parts of South-East Asia that are known to live in both, urban gardens and in forests.<br />
<br />
They are well known for their songs they sing and people used them as pets earlier. It is easy to identify their gender because the male develops black hair on its chest while the female develops grey hair. The bird in the picture is a Male.<br />

I clicked this picture when I had been to a village recently, which is about 120 Kms away from Bengaluru. We can find many such beautiful birds in rural areas than in urban locations.<br />

The Oriental Magpie-Robin is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but now considered an Old World flycatcher. They are distinctive black and white birds with a long tail that is held upright as they forage on the ground or perch conspicuously.
