The Indian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) Rufous morph, Common names in Hindi/ Hindustani: सुल्तान बुलबुल, दूधराज, अर्जुनक, रज्जुवाल (रक्तवर्णी)
A summer migrant from below the Vindhyas. The state bird of Madhya Pradesh. They breed and return to the southern part of the subcontinent with their young at the onset of winter.
A collage made from recent photographs so beautifully clicked in Gurugram, Haryana by the passionate birder Arvind Yadav.
Females are always rufous and they lack the bright blue head and long tape like tails which males have. Males are born rufous but some change to a white morph in the sub adult stage.
Seen all over Madhya Pradesh
