I saw and recorded this common iora at Shyamkhola on March 17, 2013. The common iora has a large repertoire of calls. This is one of them. This bird responds very well to playback. However, it is unethical to do so during the breeding season. The common iora's display flights is unique. It looks like a fluffy blackish ball when it does that. Hope to catch that sight with the camera some day.
In the background there is a trill of a lineated barbet and the song of a blue-throated barbet in this recording.
