Dicrurus annectans (Crow-billed Drongo)

Wikipedia Abstract

The crow-billed drongo (Dicrurus annectans) is a species of bird in the Dicruridae family. It is native to moist tropical forests of southeastern Asia where its range extends from India to the Philippines and Indonesia. It is a completely black bird with a shallowly forked tail and is similar in appearance to the black drongo. It breeds between April and June, the cup-shaped nest being built in the fork of a branch by both birds, the female afterwards incubating the eggs. It is a common bird and the IUCN has listed it as "least concern".
