Urocissa erythrorhyncha
It is about the same size as the European Magpie but has a much longer tail, the longest tail of any corvid. It is 65-68 cm (26-27 in) long and weighs 196-232 grams (6.9-8.2 oz).
The Red-billed Blue Magpie occurs in a broad swathe from the northern parts of the Indian Subcontinent, and further eastwards. It ranges from the Western Himalayas eastwards into Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in evergreen forest and scrub in predominantly hilly or mountainous country.
I spotted this at Foping Nature Reserve, around the research station. I was lucky enough to catch it in flight a few times.
