Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus)
Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus) is distinctive and contrastingly coloured, with chestnut plumage except for the white head and breast and black wing tips.They are found mainly on the coast and in inland wetlands, where they feed on dead fish and other prey. Adults have a reddish-brown body plumage contrasting with their white head and breast which make them easy to distinguish from other birds of prey. The juveniles are browner, but can be distinguished from both the resident and migratory races of black kites in Asia by the paler appearance, shorter wings, and rounded tail. It is about the same size as the black kite (Milvus migrans) and has a typical kite flight, with wings angled, but its tail is rounded unlike the Milvus species, red kite, and black kite, which have forked tails. The call is a mewing keeyew.
