White-rumped Shama (Copsychus malabaricus). Size 28 cm (11 in). Long black tail with white outer feathers, white rump, glossy black head, upperparts and upper breast contrasting with rufous lower breast diagnostic. Range from Indian subcontinent and southern China through South-East Asia to Greater Sundas. It is a threatened species due to its popularity as a cage song bird. It is resident in Malaysia from low elevation to 600 m, south to Singapore. Individuals seen in urban Singapore are said to be likely cage escapees.  It is found in forests, forest edge,  mangroves and plantations. Frequents the lower storey solitarily or in pairs. Very active bird. Often hops about on the ground foraging for food as was the case with the bird in my photograph.
