Chrysococcyx maculatus

Resident or partially migratory in India, but details uncertain; nomadic and local migrants, as are other parasitic cuckoos. Summer visitor to Nepal Apr - Aug, few in Sept, and also summer visitor to Tibet, but apparently resident in Yunnan and Hainan; in Thailand some are residents ( as also in Myanmar?), but species is also recorded there more widely as a winter visitor. Probably only a winter visitor in Malay Peninsula, but reported by some to be present all year. Winters also S to Sumatra ( 4 records). Single record ( type specimen) from Sri Lanka, presumably a vagrant.
