The dusky eagle-owl (Ketupa coromanda) is an owl species in the family Strigidae that is widespread in South and Southeast Asia.

[2] The dusky eagle-owl is not deterred by daylight though is largely active at night emerging from its roost shortly before sunset.

[4] Very few dusky eagle-owl pairs used nests made by other bird species, which included red-naped ibis Pseudibis papillosa and Indian spotted eagle Clanga hastata.
