Crow? - 10/7/23 - Kaeng Krachan, Thailand (1 Viewer)

Hi,
The angle of this photograph is confusing me. The only bird I can think of is a Large-billed crow but the beak doesn't seem right.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

It's a Drongo, bill shape and slight iridescence on the coverts suggests a moulting Hair-crested, but it is a while since I've seen one, so perhaps await confirmation from others with more recent experience.

My guess would be a very worn Hair-crested Drongo, with the rather long bill.

Ah, of course, I hadn't thought of a drongo. Thanks very much for your help.
