Can someone please confirm this to be a Crow-billed Drongo? Taken in Kaeng Krachan NP Thailand Jan 01, 2025

Looks better for Hair-crested Drongo, which is also much commoner there in winter. The bill is not really the right shape for Crow-billed.

Thanks Andrew.

The glossy blue wing and spangled neck are also good features for Hair-crested, and you can even see the hair-like crest on the 2nd photo.

Absolutely right. Thanks Johnallcock. I didn't notice the hair in pic 2.
