" This species is peculiar to Ceylon, and is very common in the 
low country. Dr. Kelaart also notes it as * found in great abundance 
in Newera Elia.' In habits it precisely resembles B. aurantius. 
Its call is a shrill, stridulous scream, often uttered during its flight, 
which is maintained by short, rapid jerks, repeated at considerable 
intervals. Irides red-brown." — (E. L. Layard.)
