Phodilus [badius or assimilis] (Oriental or Sri Lanka Bay-Owl)

Oriental or Sri Lanka Bay-Owl

Phodilus [badius or assimilis] (= Phodilus badius) (Horsfield, T 1821)

The Oriental bay owl is a type of bay owl, usually classified with barn owls. It is completely nocturnal, and can be found throughout Southeast Asia and parts of India. It has several subspecies. It has a heart-shaped face with earlike extensions. The Congo bay owl was formerly classified as a subspecies of Oriental bay owl due to insufficient knowledge, but it has turned out that it might not even belong to the same genus. The Sri Lanka bay owl was also considered a subspecies. Source: Wikipedia
