Committee's view
Background
No descriptions available in Wells (1986). Reportedly "recorded in Singapore for the third winter running". Lim (2009) incorrectly cites "MNS 1980-81" instead of "MBR 1980-81", which refers to Wells (1986). Note that Wang & Hails (2007) cites volume 40 of the Malayan Nature Journal incorrectly instead of volume 39 for this literature (other information including author and page numbers are correct). Lim (2009) makes the identical mistake. Of the 10 bird reports published in the Malayan Nature Journal relevant to Singapore, this is the only one that both Wang & Hails (2007) and Lim (2009) cited wrongly.
Verdict Accepted / Wild (Unverifiable)
