This is one of the rarer species of the genus, and one having 
apparently a very restricted range. It probably breeds in 
the alpine districts of the Himalayas, in the north-east of 
India, migrating to the north-west provinces in the cooler 
weather. Brooks (Ibis, 1869, p. 56) says that it is frequently 
seen at Almorah, and mentions (Ibis, 1872, p. 31) great num¬ 
bers ascending the hills towards Simla about the end of April. 
Jerdon (Birds of I. ii. p. X95) says that it winters in Central 
India. 
The nest and eggs of this bird, are unknown.
