(delhibirdpix) Bronzed Drongo (Dicrurus aeneus)

This tiny Drongo suddenly infiltrates the area along with Ashy Dongos from October-March and they are one of my favorite birds. Just the quality in the number of calls and sounds this bird can mimic along with it's fantastic colors, which are disappointingly hard to get on camera and in the kind of light the region gets these days, make it a joy to watch.

This particular bird was imitating a flock of Blue-tailed Bee-eaters which were sitting a few meters away.
