Red-billed Blue Magpie Scientific name: Urocissa erythrorhyncha is a large crow with a body length of 54-65 cm. The mouth and feet are red, the head, neck, throat and chest are black. There is a white to light blue-white or purple-grey patch from the top of the head to the nape of the neck. The rest of the upper body is purple-blue-grey or light blue-grey brown. The tail length is convex with black sub-end spots and white end spots. The lower body is white. The appearance and feather color of the yellow-billed blue magpie are very similar to this species, but the yellow-billed blue magpie has a yellow beak and only white patches on its head.
