Hierococcyx varius
Rounded head, brownish -white on dorsal surface, bands on wings.
Spotted with a large green caterpillar in its beak, The bird was seen sitting on the tall shade trees of the Non-such tea estate.
It thrashed the caterpillar much like a washerman would thrash clothes and ate it. ID courtesy: NuwanChathuranga
NuwanChathuranga I'll post the other shots I got that day and maybe that will help ID...but it sure looks very similar. Thanks.
