I'm not sure, due to my fresh experience, about the exact identification of this beautiful Crow I got this morning, on the side of a dirty road bordering a creek and a deep forest.

I ask to the friends of the Circle a little of leniency :embrass: , but IMHO could be both a Euploea mulciber (but no stripes) or (less likely) an Euploea tulliolus, for the likeness of the underside and the pattern.

Cannot forget the strong blue in the upperside when the Crow was flying.

The spots appear to be in the right places for a Dwarf Crow. Size and shape of wings also consistent. In a side light, you will indeed see some blue on the upperside when it is flying.

Here's a shot of the upperside taken by Bob Cheong, a 'retired' BC member... ;P
