Hi Lia,
Your bird is a Spangled Drongo in a classic pose.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi all
Can anybody identify this bird with the limited information and the attached
silhouette for a friend of mine? the picture he sent me was 620Kb, so I
cropped it. However, there wasn't much in the way of additional information
in the original!
Hi Lia
I'm in the northern rivers of NSW and I'm struggling to identify a bird that
I saw at Frederickton, near Kempsey. I wondered if you might have any ideas?
Apologies for the photo, I only had my phone handy:
The closest I can get on my Morcomb app is a Fork-tailed Swift, however, it
was glossy jet black without any white patches, it seems a bit big, the tail
seems a bit too long, the beak seems too big and its the wrong time if year.
Apart from that, it's a perfect Fit!
Bryan
