Committee's view
Background
This record was reopened for a full RC vote in 2024. The below background is from the record as it was originally published here in 2021.

Photograph posted by David Tan on Singapore Birders for identification request. Upon getting his answer from well known experienced birdwatchers on Facebook (Martin Kennewell, Tan Gim Cheong), he deleted his post. Martin Kennewell, who took a screenshot of the original post, reposted it on Singapore Birders for clarification. David Tan then mentioned that it was taken in Singapore. He subsequently informed Martin that it was photographed by a friend of his at a location near the ICA Building. The background of the photograph seemed a good fit for Golden Mile Complex, however, given the dubious nature of the record, we are rejecting it.

Vote results Against: 4, For: 3
Wild: 3
