Oriental Pratincole
April 2025: I was very happy to catch an Oriental Pratincole inflight. A very elegant looking bird - Sultanpur National Park, India 🇮🇳
From eBird: Twisting and turning on long, angular wings, this relative of the sandpipers and plovers gives a swallowlike impression in flight. Adults are brown overall with an elegant black necklace and pale yellow throat. When in flight, note dark flight feathers, chestnut underwing coverts, lack of a bright white trailing edge to the wings, and a flashing white rump
