Diane:
I don't know about a web site, but there are several books that illustrate
the birds of that region. Hard telling which library will have what. You
might need to go to a university library.

Pakistan, together with those of Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Ceylon. 10
volumes. Oxford Univ. Press. Many color plates.
