Strix ocellata 48cm
Porippulli Aandhai in Tamil
(பொரிப்புள்ளி ஆந்தை)
Resident. Concentric barring on facial discs, and white, rufous and dark brown mottling on upperparts; dark brown baring mixed with rufous on whitish underparts. Call is a spooky, quavering whaa-aa-aa-aa-ah. Open wooded areas, groves around villages and cultivation.
