Tyto alba
Medium-sized owl with a heart-shaped facial disc. Wings and back are dark brown with flecks. Face and underparts are white.
This is one of a pair that lives in my neighbour's house. The roof has a triangular design with unused space inside...the owls nest inside. Sometimes they go away and return (same pair or different I do not know)
This owl is associated with the Hindu Goddess of Wealth so it is supposed to be a good thing if they voluntarily choose your home to roost.

Thanks, Hema...just remembered...you like Barn Owls. You should see this pair...they enjoy the evening breeze together like we sit in our balconies...then they fly away.
lovely series!!
