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.

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?
