| Descriptions not available in Wells (1986) but the bird was reportedly in full summer plumage at Senoko. This species in full breeding plumage is unmistakable. Note that Wang & Hails (2007) cites volume 40 of the Malayan Nature Journal incorrectly instead of volume 39 for this literature (other information including author and page numbers are correct). Lim (2009) makes the identical mistake. Of the 10 bird reports published in the Malayan Nature Journal relevant to Singapore, this is the only one that both Wang & Hails (2007) and Lim (2009) cited wrongly. |
