Photographed on Lamma today. It behaved like a Drongo. What is it? Neil.
Lamma Island,
Hong Kong,
China.

It's a Verditer Flycatcher, Neil, a female, I think, as the lores only look slightly darker than the surrounding area.
Always a nice bird to see, and there don't seem to have been very many this winter.

The comment about behaving like a Drongo is interesting. I photographed VF at Ho Chung not long ago and the bird was regularly seen in the company of the Hair-crested Drongos. Maybe there is some sort of symbiotic relationship between them.
