Thank you

It is

Chokhgelo Pakhi ( also Bou Kotha Kow--as in Moi Keteku) in Bengali, Common Hawk Cuckoo [Brainfever Bird], Hierococcyx varius [Cuculus varius]. I used o know the Hindi name, but I forget now, and can't remeber where I had the info.

 

Anyway, if you look up 'Hierococcyx varius' in the web. youwill find all kinds of info on it.

 

c-da

Today's AT had a great photo of a keteki perching on a Shimolu flower branch.

I sent the photo to a birder friend of mine, who could not id the bird - only deals with North American birds.

 

Anyone knows what the keteki is called in English?  a kind of swallow?
