[BirdPhotoIndia] Forktails : White-crowned 2

I count forktails among my favorite birds and during a recent trip we got to see 4 species of Forktails.
Here is a White-crowned Forktail (Enicurus leschenaulti) probably the most difficult forktail to sight in India which was sharing the stream with a couple of Black-backed until an elephant burst into the scene sending us scampering to the car. 
The bird can raise the white-crown to make it look like a Tiara as or flatten it to make it look like a cap [in this pic] Check previous post for comparison
