| Red Data Status : | Least Concern |
| Remarks : | I photographed this pair nest building. The male was mostly singing (though he too participated) while the female was nest building. They could be sexed as in Sri Lanka (P. s. brevicauda) the female acquires a short supercilium during breeding. - PS |
