Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo
This distinctive bird with its elongated outer tail feathers with webbing, cannot be mistaken for anything else. The tail with twirled rackets is distinctive in flight as well and it can appear as if two butterflies were chasing it. The nominate form is found in southern India, mainly in forested areas of the Western Ghats and the adjoining hill forests of peninsular India.
