| Background |
|---|
| No descriptions of the bird in Hails (1987). No descriptions either in Wells (1990c) and David Wells (who curated Wells (1990c)) later rejected the sighting as the descriptions did not match to the species (Wang & Hails, 2007). Lim (2009) cites SINAV 3:7 and Lim (1992) that both contains no description of the sighting. SINAV 1, cited by Wang & Hails (2007) contains no mention of this sighting at all. No descriptions in BGNB Mar/Apr 1986 either. |
