(White Capped variant!)
This small bird is a winter migrant to India from parts of the Central Asia and middle East. It prefers dry areas and desert regions for its habitat and we found it all over the desert - infact it was the most common bird in that area - more than the myna's or bulbuls and sighted in the dry bushes and often coming to the ground.
Wikipedia refers to three distinct morphs of the bird and we sighted all 3 of them, though 2 seemed fairly common - the 3rd one - the white cap - was a bit uncommon but did sight a few times. The one we get down in the Southern India has white on the belly all the way till the neck. We never found it in our home state despite searching several seasons, but am so am glad that we sighted all the 3 variants.
Thank you very much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.

I love these little fungi!
Crepidotus variabilis, or the Variable Oysterling, is common and widespread in Britain. Tiny white kidney-shaped fungi appear on fallen twigs in deciduous and coniferous woodland in Autumn. They have crowded fan-shaped gills. Young variable oysterlings have white gills but they very quickly change to a pink-beige colour.

Probably the most commonly seen hawk in the mid-latitudes of North America, red-tailed hawks are also amazingly variable in their plumage colors and patterns. The spring 2025 edition of Living Bird (Cornell Lab of Ornithology) has an instructive story on this variation, based on the doctoral dissertation of a student at Cornell. He concluded there are at least 16 subspecies of red-tailed hawks associated with fairly distinct geographic locations, with color variation relating to the habitat (e.g. light morphs in warm climates, dark morphs in cold climates).

Variable oystercatcher (Haematopus unicolor) is a familiar stocky coastal bird with a long, bright orange bill, found around much of New Zealand.Breeding success of variable oystercatchers is often low, with main causes of failure being predation of eggs or chicks by a range of mammalian and avian predators, flooding of nests by big tides, and disturbance resulting from human recreational use of the coast.
