How beautiful, captured in side profile like this, so dark against the beautiful green. A side note..'drongo' is Australian slang for 'idiot' or 'stupid'....wondering how/if that is related or just chance! Posted 6 years ago

The Hair-crested drongo

The hair-crested drongo is an Asian bird of the family Dicruridae. This species was formerly considered conspecific with "Dicrurus bracteatus", for which the name "spangled drongo" – formerly used for both – is now usually reserved. Some authorities include the Sumatran drongo in "D. hottentottus" as subspecies.
