Green Cochoa

The green cochoa was variously placed with the thrushes or the Old World flycatchers, and is considered closer to the former. It is found in Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam, and possibly Bhutan, so its occurrence in Bhutan is uncertain. The male has a blue crown, blue wings and a tail with a broad black band, and the female has a more greenish body with some rusty spots on the wing coverts (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is usually seen in pairs or small groups sitting in tall trees, and feeds close to the ground on mollusks, insects and berries. It breeds in summer, with a nest much like that of the purple cochoa, usually close to water. Both parents take turns incubating the glossy, densely speckled eggs. The song is a thin, clear 'feeeee' that dies away.
