The Plumbeous Water Redstart is distributed from eastern Afghanistan through the Himalayas to northern and eastern China and south into northern Thailand, Indochina and Taiwan.
The male, seen here in photos 1 and 2, is dark slaty-blue with chestnut tail and vent while the female, as in photo 3, is slaty-grey above with two dotted wing-bars, a white rump and white on the edge of the tail. Underparts are whitish with grey barring though the barring is difficult to see in this photo.
