Because of thick vegetation, this is the only best shot I can get on this unknown bird. Your help is very much appreciated.  |

Sorry guys. Been in the States on family business for quite a while. It may take me a bit of time to catch up.
Bob,
Good guess, but look at the bill size among other things. The bill of the Dendrocitta you cite looks rather like the bill of the Lesser Coucal (thick at the insertion, a culmen downcurving and rather roman-nosed overall), also the Dendrocitta would show a white scapular and whitish covert edges and would not have this rather full chestnut belly color (it is paler).
So, what is this. This is an adult male Copsychus malabaricus.
