what kind of bird is this


Recommended Posts

After enlarging the pic on screen and noticing the shape of the beak I would say it is a raptor, but the pic is unclear to determine which one.

I would say its a young sparrowhawk.

The markings on the chest suggest it could be this, or indeed a goshawk but are those species found over here?

Not a Raptor because the beak doesn't bend down for tearing flesh

sorry,  not a dove.  about that size but definitely was different.

It could be female immature shrika not a great photo. I think they are not so common in this part of Thailand, east and south east. Just a guess.

Well spotted anyway.

I found a truly amazing app that uses AI to identify flora and fauna from photos that you take with it. If the AI doesn't get it all the way to genus or species, others in the community will also see it and try to do an ID. It's called iNaturalist, produced by National Geographic and the California Academy of Sciences.

Rather the discuss everything that it does, go have a look. I have found it to be sort of addicting and find myself trekking through the forest to see if I can come up with something new, plus your findings are documented and mapped for the use of researchers.

sorry...had to take the photo through the window .    it was only about a meter away.     i am surprised how many different birds are around .....maybe i am getting to the age where bird watching will be my retirement hobby.  The one in photo almost definitely a small raptor ....first one i've seen up close

Any opportunity to disparage the locals, eh? If a picture of a bird elicits that kind of reaction, it might be time to flock off.

Where should I report for public flogging, as I'm sure my pun is WAY off base in my personal exps as a teacher here.

 

Can bring alone your brigade that liked your comment as well.......I suppose will have to give a wai at the temple too...

 

Which of the 13 smiles should I use to redeem myself in your eyes....?

It`s a zebra dove. Have loads in my garden. These small pigeons are quite tame.

I think I would go with Zebra Dove as well. Here is the iNaturalist page with more photos and info:

But looking at it again and that curved beak, maybe it is a Shikra. Have a look at the photos:

Also note its vertical, upright stature. I think doves do not perch like that.
