549 Cakra says that the *kulīṅga* is the *kālacataka*; Dalhaṇa (ad Su.Sū.46.59) regards the *kalaviṅka* as identical with the *kālacataka*. Cf. Su.Sū.46.67 and 71; A.h.Sū.6.49cd; A.s.Sū. 7.71. P. Rāy and H.N. Gupta (1965): *Ploceus bengalensis*, the sparrow hawk. Gulabkunverba: sparrow hawk. R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash: idem. P.V. Sharma: sparrow. K.N. Dave (1985: 49–50, 62–93, 95): *kulīṅga* is a common name for tree-sparrows, buntings and other finches, blackbirds, the drongo, and several other birds; he identifies the *kālacataka* as the greywinged blackbird and adds that the same name is applied to the common black drongo and the Himalayan whistling thrush. *Ploceus bengalensis* (Linnaeus) is a weaver bird (see S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 10, 96–98). The sparrow-hawks belong to the species *Accipiter nisus* (Linnaeus) and *A. virgatus* (Temminck) (see S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 1, 243–251). See on *Turdus boulboul* (Latham), the greywinged blackbird: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 9, 112–114, on *Myiophonus caeruleus temminckii* (Vigors), the Himalayan whistling thrush: the same, 9, 79–82.
