Spotted at Tana Toraja - Sulawesi, the orange migrant has a wide distribution in South East Asia and Australasia. Its range stretches from Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, along the Malay Peninsula, across Java and Sumatra, and over northern Australia. It was recently discovered in Sri Lanka.
