The White-tailed Lapwing, Vanellus leucurus, is a winter visitor to India that breeds in Central Asia and portions of southern Russia. It is occasionally sighted in the western region of Maharashtra state, India, but rarely documented. Previously it is known from only a few records in this state. We report a new record of V. leucurus from Maharashtra state, as well as an earlier sighting of this species.
