@ Leuba: yes, and they also appear to be in good shape in Sri Lanka,

They look quite different from the backside as you can see!
Handsome birds and lovely spotting ! Wing patterns look great going by photos on the Net showing them in flight . It is a relief and good to read that they are not endangered on mainland.
