By the way, we were not able to click good pictures from the field because battery of the camera got exhausted. We had discussed this with Maxim Rodrigues and had not concluded as Oriental but was left to Oriental/Collared Later informed the observation to Sreehari K Mohan who knows the birds well in the area and after a week he had visited the area. He got photographs and confirmed the species Based on these and our notes we claim the possbility of bird for Oriental pratincole
