Wow.... 1/30 sec with 560 mm! Nice capture Nestor, looks like you're trying to recover the cost of the 100-400 asap in the form of brilliant pics.  |

Hey, I have a bird photo from Palawan that looks an awful lot like that, but Sir Steve ID'd it as a Hair-crested Drongo:  Are they the same bird? |

Hey, I have a bird photo from Palawan that looks an awful lot like that, but Sir Steve ID'd it as a Hair-crested Drongo: Are they the same bird?Hi Bobby, Balicassiao and Hair-crested Drongo are two distinct and separate species. The one in Luzon is an endemic one while the one in Palawan is not. Take note of the deeply forked tail in the Drongo as compared to the one in Balicassiao. I think that is one of the diagnostics when comparing this bird. I am sure Steve has a lot more to add.  Adri |

Yes, confirm the bird from Palawan is Hair-crested Drongo. It should be noted that the differential analyses of Drongids is problematic. Here, we have to look at the conformation of the tail terminus, the slightly longer bill (of the Hair-crested respect to Balicassiao), and at least for the palawanensis - it is slightly less chunky in appearance respect to the Balicassiao - these are all subtle differences and it takes a practised eye.
