| Up to four birds reported from 4 January to 16 March. The birds were reportedly photographed and videographed by many (see link - Other). No descriptions are available in SINAV 15:1, OBC 33, OBC 34 and the original rare bird report is unavailable as well. Note that the last date in Lim (2009) is listed as 18 February 2001, while that in Wang & Hails (2007) is listed as 16 March 2001. The bird was originally discovered by Subaraj Rajathurai and Richard Ollington. The March record was at Simei by the former discoverer with a pair reported. |

| 05 Dec 2021 | We found photographs of the bird online (see link - Other) that were missed out when initially collating records. The following sentences have hence been removed from the background: "These were shared in the YahooGroup Archives but are unfortunately no longer available. None can be found online or in any published work as of writing (9 August 2021)." and "However, descriptions of the photographs taken and identification discussions can be found in the YahooGroup Archives." |
