The Common Myna is readily identified by the brown body, black hooded head and the bare yellow patch behind the eye. The bill and legs are bright yellow. There is a white patch on the outer primaries and the wing lining on the underside is white. The sexes are similar and birds are usually seen in pairs.[

Even the Common Myna seems to be an exotic bird. How do you manage to get such cool shots? If you don't mind sharing.
