Bronzed Drongo (Dicrurus aeneus) is a small Indomalayan species notable for its metallic, shimmering plumage. It is a small, compact drongo with glossy black feathers. The "bronzed" name comes from the intense iridescent sheen on its head, breast, and back, which contrasts with its flatter black face and belly. It features a relatively short, moderately forked tail.
These birds are residents of forests and well-wooded gardens throughout the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. They are skilled aerial insectivores, often seen making "aerial sallies" from perches to capture insects flying in the forest canopy.
