Magpie robins

I was recently in Cochin at my daughter's home.  There i happen to spy a pair of magpie robins.  I love the way they look and their sweet whistle like calls.  Somehow here, in spite of all the trees we have around here, I hardly ever get to hear the magpie robin these days probably because their calls are drowned out by the loud raucous calls of the racket-tailed drongos.  I have to admit their calls can be beautiful too.  It is just that they are so loud!  I managed to get pictures of the pair, male and female--

This was the first time I got to see a female so close.  I see she is a dark brown.  I was unable to record their song though.
