Alt. Common Name :	Collared Pygmy Owl, Collared Pygmy-Owl, Collared Pygmy Owlet, Collared Pygmy-Owlet, Banded Owl
Bird Family :	Strigidae - Typical owls
Bird Group :	STRIGIFORMES
Red Data Status :	Unspecified
Remarks :	The smallest of our owl(et)s at 17 cms and also the most diurnal. It's a hill forest bird of the Himalayas and has an 'owl face' on its nape. The bird lost its lovely / apt name 'pygmy' to the cause of bird name standardization a few years ago. Extremely bold, and in all the instances I have seen it (thrice) I have photographed it from minimum focus distance. - Ramki
