I'm sure this is a drongo, but not sure which. I was leaning towards a crow-billed drongo. Thanks for looking

Looks more like a Spangled Drongo to me, based on head/bill and tail shape.

Thanks for the reply but does the Spangled Drongo extend to Borneo?

It's now split as Hair-crested Drongo, D. hottentotus. Spangled is found Australasia, Indonesia etc...

Thanks for that birdboybowley. I was so busy putting things onto the forum I forgot to check the latin name. If I had brains I'd be dangerous!!!
