WATERCOLOUR ...A4...2015...The white-bellied drongo (Dicrurus caerulescens) is a species of drongo found only on the Indian Subcontinent in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Like other members of the family Dicruridae they are insectivorous and is mainly black in colour but with a white belly and vent. Young birds are, however, all black and can be confused with the black drongo, although smaller and more compact in appearance, and the subspecies found in Sri Lanka has white restricted to the vent.
This drongo is black without any glossy on the upperside and greyish on the throat and breast while the belly and vent are entirely white in the Indian form which is the nominate subspecies. The fork of the tail is less deep than in the black drongo which is often seen in the same habitats.
The song of this drongo is a series of staccato notes interspersed with clear notes and may include mimicry of other bird calls.
They have been known to take insects attracted to artificial lights late at dusk.They also visit large flowers for nectar, particularly Salmalia and Erythrina.[INFO:WIKIPEDIA]
