Resident and seasonally migratory. In Nepal a breeding visitor, mainly late Apr to Aug; in Yunnan (SW China),
present Feb-Oct. In Sri Lanka, passerinus arrives with the dry NE monsoon in Oct and leaves Apr, does not sing,
no breeding records. Many specimens from Java differ from local resident race lanceolatus, but match N race
querulus, indicating immigration from N during latter's non-breeding season. (del Hoyo J, Elliott
