It seems probable that, after all, this species will have to be 

 united to H. alha, as Dr. Stejneger (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. x. p. 315, 

 1887) and Taczanowski (Faune Orn. Ost-Sibir. ii. p. 979) both give 

 the bill as " black." In the Seebohm collection there is also a 

 black-billed specimen from Canton.
