Kishen, Thanks . I guess in case of my photograph, the short tail has to be the identifying mark as the spot is not visible (due to inadequate opening of the wings).

Initially had id'd it as Tailed Judy but after Gaurav's post on FB checked it again. So I guess it is not as rare as considered earlier.

I guess we were in the right place in the right season. Animish Mandrekar has recently photographed it at Eaglenest, his picture is also posted on the above page. With best wishes, Krushnamegh. ------------------------------------------------- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Post-doctoral Research Fellow FAS Center for Systems Biology Harvard University 52 Oxford St., Northwest Lab Room 458.40-3 Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.
