The taxonomy at the moment (2023) seems somewhat confusing as the species has several sub-species with obvious visual differences and a few vocal differences. These photos are of the nominate sub-species which is generally dull brown with a dark bill and yellow tail feathers. Other sub-species have yellow or greenish bills and are much brighter and paler around the head. | |||
