White-rumped Shama sound? / Sri Lanka, December 2024 (1 Viewer)

[PavelPavlov]

Hello,

I have a couple of recordings from my Sri Lanka trip that I'm struggling to identify. I think it's White-rumped Shama, but it's a species I have no experience with, and also with such a diverse song. Any recommendations are welcome.

Location and date are in recordings' names.
Kandy_16_12 sounds to me a lot like this one: ML625818936 - White-rumped Shama - Macaulay Library
Sigiriya_15_12 is kinda like this: ML621433961 - White-rumped Shama - Macaulay Library
Pidurangala_15_12 is very different, but I have no idea what else it might be and it vaguely sounds like a Shama to me.

Thanks in advance!
Best,
Pavel

I now actually lean more towards Spot-winged thrush for the Kandy recording.
