Sri Lanka Drongo
Dicrurus lophorinus Vieillot, 1817
Dicruridae — Drongos
Sri Lanka Drongo, Dicrurus lophorinus, is a bird of Sri Lanka in the drongo family, and it breeds in the Oriental Region there. It was described by Vieillot in 1817. Found across the wet zone in the south-west of the island, from Deduru Oya to Walawe, it lives in subtropical or tropical moist lowland and montane forests. It has also been placed in separate genera in the past, and it was once treated as part of the greater racket-tailed drongo. Its tail shape sets it apart from D. paradiseus.
