[BirdPhotoIndia] Darter at South Sikkim?

Hi all,
Shot this group of birds sitting on a rock at the confluence of the
river Rangit and river Rothangchu near Rangit Power Station Dam area,
South Sikkim. In the image at the left side, the bird is most probably
a Darter. Besideds the Darter there are three Great Cormorants also.
In checklist of Sikkim at Kolkatabirds database there is no mention of
Darter. As per Grimmett & Inskipp's book, Northeast and Himalaya are
out of its range. Please confirm whether it is a Darter, then I think
it will be a new record for Sikkim. Shot this today on 8/1/2012 at
morning. Image is not good and taken from distance and sorry for the
image quality.

Regards,
Subhasis Roy
S.Sikkim
