| Background |
|---|
| No descriptions at all in the eBird checklist and not reported in Wang & Hails (2007) nor Lim (2009). Although it is highly likely that this was the same bird/from the same population as the supposed last known sighting (Record Number 692) given that the location is identical and that the timing is close, we are rejecting here due to lack of information, and the possibility that it might be a misidentified Abbott's Babbler. |
| Verdict | Not accepted (Unverifiable) |
