Dicrurus macrocercus
This is an all black, small (some 30 cm in length incl tail) but incredibly aggressive Asian predatory songbird.
Seen in rural areas around Sittwe, near agricultural fields and close to animals.
Considered subspecies of Fork-tailed Drongo until recently. It is often associated with farming, and farmers appreciate it - in Myanmar, they know that Drongos help farmers in controlling animal pests.
