ABSTRACT Plumage anomalies in birds are more prevalent in India, where numerous studies have lately been published. We show an instance of brown plumage aberration in a Common House Crow ( Corvussplendens ) in this report. The plumage of the Common House Crow has been documented in a variety of morphs, the majority of which are examples of lucistic and other aberrations. However, the brown aberration observed by us was unusual and has been discussed. Key words: Plumage, brown, aberration, morphs, lucistic REFERENCES Arockianathan, Samson & Princy, J., 2020.
