Khao Yai - January 2012

Birds from a recent (hiking / non-birding) trip to Khao Yai National Park
Total bird list about 95 species in four days. No clear view of Ground Cuckoo and Pheasants for ticking and no sight/hearing of pittas, which is a bit disappointing.
If you want more information on the birding spots, thailandbirding provides good online information, but you can find birds almost anywhere. For more details, you can pm me. If you don't agree with the id, please let me know 3551smile445

I follow this post with some suspicious ids (please help confirm...). Warblers are particular numerous in Khao Yai and hard to distinguish without a bird guide. Just managed a few shots, which may not be sufficient for some ids :-(

Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks for sharing

So

Congratulations Abdel for the extensive range of great species in just four days!! 3551873d93aa445  Clearly, it wasn't a non-birdwatching trip though !! XD

Just some suggestions on ID:

Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush -> White-throated Rock Thrush
Crow-billed Drongo ---> Ashy Drongo
3. Blue-and-white Flycatcher female --> Asian Brown Flycatcher
7. Warbler --> Blyth's Leaf Warbler
8. Minivet? --> Swinhoe's Minivet... I think
10. Ashy Drongo --> Yes, Ashy Drongo!!
12. Ultramarine Flycatcher --> Verditer Flycatcher (fem)

For the Warblers, I'm very interested in what experts have to say...!! But I suppose in the wintering grounds, the call would be a great great help...!

The Chestnut-bellied Rock is a White-throated Rock-thrush. Could #7 be fokiensis or assamensis Blyth's leaf warbler? 11 and 17 look like Yellow-browed Warblers. 12 is a Verditer.

Got confused on the Rock Thrush in my files :-( White-throated it is.
Koel, what makes you think the Crow-billed is actually an Ashy? I agree that the bill is a bit dubious for a Crow-billed, but the tail is clearly much less pointed than Ashy and the general physionomy is not as slender.
For 3 and 12, you gave the other names I was thinking of... So will go with your choice.

I haven't seen one for myself, but I thought Crow-billed is black, while your Drongo is actually dark greyish in colour (This Ashy Drongo thing has bothered me quite a while, with subspecies differing so much from leucogenys to those that look almost outright black. Shouldn't they be specifically distinct?).

Importantly as you mentioned, I thought the bill wasn't thickset enough for Crow-billed; also the proportions of your bird are quite slender - Crow-billed has a much bulkier head and even shorter tail.
[url]http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?Bird_ID=2230&Bird_Image_ID=51791&Bird_Family_ID=&p=2[/url]

However as I said I have no experience with Crow-billed - I'm happy to be corrected! ^^
