notice the 3rd photo on the link. I didn't think it was a black-rumped at first, but then i noticed the "sri lankan variation" and was convince. check it out. sri lankan variation has what yours has, a reddish back. regular black-rumped has a green/yellow back.

Deniyaya, Southern Province, Sri Lanka
