The bronzed drongo (''Dicrurus aeneus'') is a small Indomalayan bird belonging to the drongo group. They are resident in the forests of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. They capture insects flying in the shade of the forest canopy by making aerial sallies from their perches. They are very similar to the other drongos of the region but are somewhat smaller and compact with differences in the fork depth and the patterns of gloss on their feathers. ==Description== This drongo is somewhat smaller than the black drongo and has more metallic gloss with a spangled appearance on the head, neck and breast. The lores are velvety and the ear coverts are duller. The tail is slender and well forked with the outer tail feathers flaring outward slightly. Immatures have their axillaries tipped in white.〔 The young bird is duller and brownish with less spangling.〔 The nominate race is found in India and extending until the northern part of the Malay Peninsula. Specimens from southern India are however very similar in morphometrics to those from ''malayensis'' of Burma and the size variation may be clinal. The subspecies from China ''kwangsiensis'' is treated as synonymous with ''aeneus''. Subspecies ''malayensis'' is found from Selangor south into, Sumatra and Borneo. Taiwan is home to ''braunianus'' in the mountains of the interior.〔 Image:Bronzed Drongo I IMG 1677.jpg| Near Purbasthali in Burdwan District, West Bengal, India Image:Bronzed Drongo (Dicrurus aeneus) at Narendrapur near Kolkata I IMG 7730.jpg| At Narendrapur near Kolkata, West Bengal, India Image:Bronzed Drongo I 54.jpg| at Narendrapur near Kolkata, West Bengal, India. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bronzed drongo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
