hi there,
to preface this- i know little to nothing about birds. i saw this bird outside my window a few years ago and was taken aback as i had never seen anything like it before. i recently came across this website and deciding this would be a good way to finally identify its species. sorry for the bad photos - this was a few years ago when cameraphones werent the best. further details- it was roughly the size of a raven, was alone, colour was lightish blue/grey rather than grey as seen in the pictures below.
thankyou

It is a Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike
Hi Eloise, I 2nd Black Faced Cuckoo Shrike. Sometimes species ID can be made easier if you include you location, town, city and or state.
