Cyanopica cyanus
It has a glossy black top to the head and a white throat. The underparts and the back are a light grey-fawn in colour with the wings and the feathers of the long (16–20 cm) tail are an azure blue.
It inhabits various types of coniferous (mainly pine) and broadleaf forest, including parks and gardens in the eastern populations.
I spotted this in Beihai park in Beijing.
