Hi all,

Just confirming IDs, are these Asian Pied Starlings and a Black-rumped Flameback?

Also, unfortunately no photo, but I saw a small rail/crake, brown back and yellow legs. My thought was Baillon's Crake, is that a plausible option in Dhaka?

Yes, looks like a female Black-rumped Flameback/Lesser Goldenback, as the red appears to be restricted to the rear of the crown, and Asian Pied Starling.

Thanks! Any thoughts on the crake?

Quite possibly a Baillon's if it really was that size, although I would describe this species's leg colour as green. Little Crake doesn't occur there as far as I can see, and neither does Spotted. The other possibility is perhaps Brown Crake, but that has pinkish-brown legs, and is much larger.

Thanks, will leave it as crake sp. for now and try for another look and hopefully photo later.
