I had some correspondence with Phil Round regarding the status of Rosy Pipit in Thailand. There is a 1930s specimen that was labelled "Bangkok" and Phil first saw the species in at Thaton and Fang in
December 1981. There are just a handful of records away from Thaton-Fang. It is considered uncommon or rare, even though
it has probably been overlooked to some degree.
Rosy Pipit is usually associated with wet paddies of mashy areas (the birds I saw were in a wet, recently ploughed paddy), but there is evidence (such as the recent Nakhon Nayok birds) that they use drier habitats as well.
