I have been reviewing the Euploea crows in my collection. I originally had all these down as Common Indian Crow E. core, but I am not convinced any of these are this species now, as comparing them with other photos they look different.
Image 1 - From Khao Laem NP, west Thailand. Not sure at all what this is:
24585
Image 2 - From Pang Sida, se Thailand. I think this is Long-branded Crow E. algea.
24586
Image 3 - From Phu Khieo, ne Thailand. I think probably Greater Striped Black Crow E. doubledayi
24587
Image 4 - From Phu Langka, ne Thailand. No idea!
24588
Many thanks
