Dr Seow,
In reference to E.doubledayi in Penang, would like your opinion on my "possible: sighting of this in Lily Pond, Penang Island in March 2023. It was much larger than most similar crows that I have seen.

I am afraid I cant tell if they are E. doubledayi from the pictures.

The Striped Blue Crow E. mulciber is a very common species, & E. doubledayi is around the same size.
The female doubledayi is also distinctive in having central white spots on the upperside FW.
In contrast the female E. eyndhovii is plain brown on the FW upperside.

E. eyndhovii is found in Penang. The status of E. doubledayi is inknown.


TL Seow: Cheers.
