| Owl facts |
+-------------+

The Andaman Barn Owl (Tyto deroepstorffi) is a medium-sized owl with
no ear-tufts. It is also known as the Andaman Masked Owl.
"The facial disc is vinaceous brownish, with a prominent, orange-brown
rim. The eyes are blackish-brown, and the bill cream-coloured.
The entire upperparts, including the wing-coverts, are dark brown with
chocolate-brown patches and fine orange-buffish spots. The wings and
tail are relatively short. The primaries, secondaries, and tail have a
few narrow, darker bars.
The breast is golden-rufous, with blackish spots, becoming paler
towards the belly, which is whitish.
Legs are feathered whitish-ochre to the base of the dark pinkish-grey
toes. Claws are purple-grey."
