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
