Observation details

Thin pin-like feathers visible in one photo. Less erratic flight than Common. Plumage less yellow than Common. Long toe projection suggest Pin-tailed over Swinhoe's, though the tail feathers are more reliable for identification. Didn't call when flushed, unlike Common. First definite record for this location.
