A drongo species found in our woodlands with great vocal mimicry skills, that it uses to its advantage while foraging in groups. This one mimicked Black Kite and domestic cat very well, along with other calls . Had a wonderful time birding from window of our bedroom and kitchen while working-from-home. 😛
