Observation details

After listening to many recordings of Besra and Bronzed Drongo (that often imitate Besra), the recording associated with this seems to a typical Besra call -- note that there are no other drongo calls in either cut. The 1st cut is under natural conditions whereas the 2nd is after playback. The bird was not seen, so some question still remains.
