It's another migrant pair sighted but these two sure ain't as cordial as the other species.
One of the two Square-tailed Drongo-Cuckoos (Surniculus lugubris) kept chasing off the other, both 'baring' wings in turn at the other.
Refresher (extract mybis):
Order - Cuculiformes
Family - Cuculidae
Genus - Surniculus
Specific epithet - lugubris (Horsfield, 1821)
Common name: Sqaure-tailed Drongo-cuckoo, Sewah Sawai, Punai Sawai, Asian Drongo-cuckoo, Sewah Sawi, Sewah Cecawi, Burung Hamba Kera, Burung Sawai
Status: Least Concern

One fled in and I was in for a sight of a confrontation when another entered shortly.
Couldn't say for sure which one was this as both had persisted with their hostility until only this one finally staked its claim over the patch.
