Populations of N Asia from Siberia to Japan and Kuril Is migrate S to winter in S &E Asia from India to S & E
China and S Japan. Generally resident in S Asia, but some populations are migratory; Himalayan and other N
Indian populations migrate S to Peninsular India to overwinter. Winter range poorly known, partly due to
complications of subspecific identification. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1997)
