| Background |
|---|
| Brief description available in the eBird checklist (uploaded Nov 2022). Between 2001 and 2008, there were several sightings of this species, mostly in the Bukit Timah/Hindhede area. This sighting is over 10 years earlier than those observations; given the rarity of this species and the lack of corroborating sightings around the same time, this record was not accepted. |
| Verdict | Not accepted (Verifiable) |
