Indian House Crow Corvus splendens

The Indian House Crow, also called just the House Crow or Ceylon House Crow, is native to the Indian subcontinent and adjacent areas of southwest and Southeast Asia but has spread further across Asia and been introduced to East Africa in recent years. In some, mainly human residential, areas it is seen as an unwanted (but intelligent) invader. It is a little smaller than the Common Crow with a dusty grey nape and front. The above photos were taken in India by Dr Harsha Vardhan Reddy.
