The hair-crested drongo is an Asian drongo formerly considered conspecific with the spangled drongo (Dicrurus bracteatus), for which that name is now usually reserved. Some authorities include the Sumatran drongo as a subspecies. It is native from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Bhutan through Indochina to China, Indonesia and Brunei. Small flocks are very noisy (Wikipedia, general species account).
