The Burmese Paradise Flycatcher is a common resident 

 throughout the Peninsula south to Singapore, though its 

 numbers are probably increased during the winter months 

 by migrants from the north. 



The two other species of this genus found in the Peninsula, 

 T. incii Gould and T. princeps (Temm.), are both somewhat 

 rare winter visitors.

Only one specimen was obtained in Trang. The species

 distributed as its congener P. velatum.
