Committee's view

Background
No descriptions available in neither IORA 1 nor OBC 20. The last date in Lim (2009) is stated as 25 May 1994, but the bird was reported again by Peter Kennerley on 13 August 1994 according to the primary document IORA 1, the very document cited. Meanwhile in OBC 20 the first date is listed as 15 May, but this information is here treated as a typo error (the last date in OBC 20 is also inconsistent and reported as 30 July). Wang & Hails (2007) does not list specific historical sightings for this species.
