| India blackbird - ಕಪ್ಪು ಹಕ್ಕಿ - Kappu Hakki |
The Indian blackbird (Turdus simillimus) (Kannada Name: ಕಪ್ಪು ಹಕ್ಕಿ - Kappu Hakki) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the common blackbird. It is found only in India and Sri Lanka. The subspecies from most of the Indian subcontinent, simillimus, nigropileus, bourdilloni and spencei, are small, only 19–20 centimetres (7.5–7.9 inches) long, and have broad eye-rings. They also differ in proportions, wing formula, egg colour and voice from the common blackbird.
