Pied (Jacobin) Cuckoo (Clamator jacobinus)

We saw this Pied Cuckoo near the Bhootanahalli Village on the outskirts of the Bannerughatta national park. It was accompanied by his female. After a short burst of rain, he was drying himself in the sun, and was so preoccupied with preening his feathers that he didn't care when I got really close to him.
