Otus sunia
Well camouflaged during the roosting hours in the day, their calls during the night made it easier to spot and well, earn rewarding images too. Easily confused with other species of Scops Owl like Indian and Collared due to their grey and rufous morphs, the calls made the ID spot on!

Great spotting, Vipul!
