Зозуля-дронго молуцька Surniculus musschenbroeki

A blackish, drongo-like cuckoo with a shallow forked tail and broad outer tail tips. Note the slim bill and the barring on the base of the undertail, and on the underwings in flight. Juvenile shows extensive white spotting. Singles and pairs inhabit forest and forest edge within lowlands and foothills. Smaller and slimmer-billed than drongos, with a shallower tail fork and barring in the plumage. Song is a distinctive series of 5-9 whistled notes, each rising up the scale: “ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki.”
