Hi there,
I am trying to ascertain if the specimen is correctly labeled and identified. Rasmussen & Anderton (2012) does not mention a specimen of Common Redstart from Himachal despite the first author accessing most specimens in the US museums - there are only two known records from India - both from Ladakh. It would be a super rarity, but not impossible. Hence, it would be good to verify the tag, location and identification of this specimen - whenever time permits.
Thanks & best rgds
