| Combination of bill size, extent of orange on underparts, chin colour, and overall structure identified the bird as a Mangrove Blue Flycatcher. Although this species is known to occur as a visitor to the main island of Singapore, RC members agreed that the extremely unnatural plumage state (lack of all but one tail feather, several flight feathers on one wing missing) was an indication that the bird was recently in captivity. |
