I took this photograph today morning at Hebbal Lake, Bangalore.I am not sure of the id, so if any corrections do let me know.

Canon 50D, 100-400mm IS USM, ISO 400,f5.6,1/200, EV +1/3

Comments welcome..

Beautiful photo. I looked this one up in my bird book (Salim Ali, 13th edition) and judging by the pattern of streaks on the underside, it looks like an imm. brainfever bird. Please check and reply.

Nice image Mrudul. Kicking myself for leaving early! I like it as it shows the environment.

I think Abhishek is right, Common Hawk Cuckoo, Hierococcyx varius.

Thanks Abhishek for the id and the comment.

Thanks Apana, I took this photograph in the morning, not after you left. Took only 2-3 shots after you left.Will post them soon.
