White form present in Sri Lanka as a migratory bird

[edit]

Though it says in this article that that the white form of the Asian paradise flycatcher is absent in Sri Lanka( cited as "Rasmussen PC & JC Anderton (2005). Birds of South Asia: The Ripley Guide. Vol.2. Smithsonian Institution & Lynx Edicions. pp. 332–333.")(Under heading 'Description' 2nd paragraph line 7)I know for a fact that it is present in Sri Lanka. The Indian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi paradisi) (a subspecies) is found in Sri Lanka as a migratory bird from September to May. The adult male has white plumage.[1][2] And I'm a Sri Lankan and I have seen this white Indian Paradise Flycatcher in my home garden every year in the migratory season.

Thanks for your suggestion! Revised this section, and hope this revision resolves your questions. --BhagyaMani (talk)11:34, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I rechecked Rasmussen it says that there is no white male form in Sri Lankan subspecies "ceylonesis" and it does mentions that many peninsular nominate individuals winter in Sri Lanka. (pp. 332-333)Shyamal (talk)02:15, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, both male and femaleTerpsiphone paradisi ceylonensis has rufous plumage.They don't have any white. Its theTerpsiphone paradisi paradisi (Indian Paradise Flycatcher) that spends the winter in Sri Lanka and its adult male has white plumage. Anyway I don't seeTerpsiphone paradisi paradisi mentioned as a subspecies in the article. In Wkispecies the subspecies are listed as
Subspecies: T. p. affinis - T. p. australis - T. p. borneensis - T. p. burmae - T. p. ceylonensis - T. p. floris - T. p. incei - T. p. indochinensis - T. p. insularis - T. p. leucogaster - T. p. madzoedi - T. p. myanmare - T. p. nicobarica - T. p. paradisi - T. p. procera - T. p. saturatior - T. p. sumbaensisGregorvitch (talk)02:36, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of 14 recognized subspecies acc. to HBW is now complete, incl. the nominateparadisi. --BhagyaMani (talk)12:59, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ceylon paradise flycatcher

[edit]

Is there any visual difference between the rufousIndian paradise flycatcher andCeylon paradise flycatcher? Or are they the same bird with different names? I have pictures of a:

  • White long-tailed flycatcher from Sri Lanka -1
  • Rufous short-tailed flycatcher from Sri Lanka -1,2

And I'm wondering how to categorize them... PingUser:BhagyaMani andUser:Gregorvitch. Thanks in advance! Kind regards,Rehman06:08, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For subspecific differentiation and migrating season I suggest you ask an ornithologist In SL. --BhagyaMani (talk)10:14, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indian paradise flycatcher

TheIndian paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) is a medium-sizedpasserine bird in the family Monarchidae, themonarch flycatchers. It is native to the Indian subcontinent, with resident and breeding populations in most of Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, as well as parts of Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. The bird has a length of 20 to 50 centimetres (7.9 to 19.7 inches) from beak to tail. Males have elongated central tail feathers, and a black and rufous plumage in some populations, while others have white plumage. Females are short-tailed with rufous wings and a black head. The Indian paradise flycatcher feeds on insects, including grasshoppers, butterflies andpraying mantises, as well as flies. It typically captures prey in the air, kills it by hitting it on a rock, and then extracts the inner parts. This Indian paradise flycatcher in flight was photographed inPilibhit in the Indian state ofUttar Pradesh.
