From its yellow beak and the yellow ring around the eye, I think it is Indian Blackbird. Experts please confirm. You got any photographs from other angle? Thanks for sharing.

The vegetation has come out well. It is good that the beak is clear off the branch. If you were slightly to your left then the tip of the beak would have been hidden behind the branch and it would not have looked good. It is fine now. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thank you Mrudul and Sabyasachi...I initially thought it was Eurasian black bird...but you are right Mrudul..this looks like a Indian Black bird. It was singing loudly and in a monotonous tone. I have taken a video also but its not very clear
