The greater racket-tailed drongo ranges from the western Himalayas to the eastern Himalayas and Mishmi Hills in the foothills below 1,200m. The usual clutch is three or four eggs, creamy white with reddish-brown blotches that are denser at the broad end (Wikipedia, general species account).
The only source read for the Bhutan guide gives this range and the egg details. No plumage, size, voice or diet information was found, so none is stated, and the entry is kept short. Its range statement does not name Bhutan, though it covers the Himalayan foothills.
