Rufous Treepie

Rufous treepie is found in the Indian Subcontinent and corresponding parts of Southeast Asia. It has a cinnamon body with a black head and a long bluish gray tail tipped in black. The wing has a white patch. The underparts and lower back are tawny-brown to orange-brown. The bill, legs and feet are black.

I got a poor photo in bad light near Diphlu Lodge near Kaziranga NP in Assam, India. There are a number of subspecies. I saw Dendrositta vagabunda vagabunda, the nominate subspecies.
