The Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but now considered an Old World flycatcher.
They are distinctive black and white birds with a long tail that is held upright as they forage on the ground or perch conspicuously. Distributed in many parts of tropical South and Southeast Asia, they are common birds in urban gardens as well as forests. They are particularly well known for their songs and were once popular as cagebirds.

Nice shot! This is a Magpie Robin, most likely an Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus salaris). There are several other species endemic to various islands like Seychelles that are virtually indistinguishable from the widespread Oriental Magpie Robin.
Thank you. Have updated my webpage.
