Reportedly a pair found at the area. Descriptions are not available in anywhere. Wang & Hails (2007) lists that "one to two birds seen regularly at Seletar in 1986 - 1987. Also seen regularly at NS [Nee Soon] in 1987 - 1998". It is unclear whether these birds are thought to be the same pair. The record Record Number 524 might be the same pair. Lim (2009) cites BGN Jul/Aug 1986, with BGN probably being a typographical error for BGNB - Malayan Nature Society (Singapore Branch) Bird Group News Bulletin - that is not available to us as of writing (9 August 2021). It cannot be confirmed whether any descriptions are available. |
Verdict | Accepted / Escapee (Unverifiable) |
