While some may mistake the male Indian Robin for a Drongo due to its black plumage, the differences are clear: drongos possess a deeply forked tail and an arboreal lifestyle, hunting insects in flight, whereas the Indian Robin remains grounded with its cocked, square-ended tail and terrestrial foraging.

A slim, medium-sized drongo with bright red eyes and gray plumage that is almost black in the western parts of its range and quite pale in the eastern parts of its range. It has a long slim tail with a deep fork. Common in wooded habitats where it sallies for insects and aggressively chases other birds that may compete for food or nectar.
