Who is that masked bird? Day 1

This masked bird is the Green Magpie (Cissa chinensis). Found in India, China, Malaysia, the green magpie is a corvid. They're green in the wild, but their color tends to fade to turquoise in captivity. Like most corvids, the green magpie will eat anything it can find - an omnivore's omnivore.
