    Black or Ashy Drongo in Thailand--Sukhotai

    According to my guidebook, Black Drongo tails are more deeply forked than Ashy Drongo tails. Is the tail visible on these shots enough to ID this as Black Drongo, then? Bird observed in Sukhotai on 5th November 2022. Thanks for your help!

    Drongo, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

    Seen at city park in Kuala Lumpur in March. I believe it is either Greater Racket-tailed or Crow-billed Drongo. Did not show rackets on tail or prominent fluff of feathers behind the bill that would be characteristic of Greater Racket-tailed. I know that these terrible photos may not be clear...

    What drongo is this? (Singapore)

    Hi! Is it possible to tell from these photos what species this bird might be? I thought it was a crow-billed drongo initially, but some others have suggested it could just be a greater racket-tailed drongo, without its racket-tails. Thank you.

    S/he was far away. BG is a half-dried Chromolaena bush which didn't help the exposure either . Thank you for your kind appreciation of my previous post.
