Lesser or Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo - Cat Tien NP, Vietnam (1 Viewer)

[beechwood]

I cannot tell if this is the Greater or Lesser Racket-Tailed Drongo seen on 23 January in the Cat Tien National Park. It doesn't seem to have the "flat head" of the Lesser but doesn't have the clear crest of the Greater. Is there any way of distinguishing from this poor photo?
Thanks, Phil

Hi. From what I've read online, the lesser has a square/straight ended tail, so looks like it could be a Greater?

Yes, its a Greater Racket-tailed, in addition to the notched tail shape, note raised and curled back tuft of feathers on forehead + rather strong bill which confirms ID.
