Which bird is this?
Calling on all the bird enthusiasts (the feathered variety) please identify this bird for me. I clicked the picture at Barog, Himachal Pradesh.

As Hippie said, it is a red-billed blue magpie. Btw, it’s from the crow family so now you have copyright of an image of a crow.

There is consensus now that it is blue magpie, red or yellow, that is the question!
Thank you Nick. |

It is a magpie (yellow billed blue) they can be seen all over the hills and are a frequent visitor to our yard in search of food that they nick from the dog's bowl! Very boisterous and noisy!
