The first five photos are of
female-plumaged birds which differ from the male in having a
white streak behind the eye, whitish throat and breast, pale grey
tips to the tail and a longer area of black on the bill.
There are illustrations in HBW, Volume 5, Page 576; and Sick, Plate 21. |

According to HBW, all these birds are of the sub-species C. l. pucherani but according to Grantsau photos 3, 4 and 5 are of the sub-species C. l. berlepschi. Any clarification on this would be welcome. | |||
