One of these specimens has two of the secondaries marked 

 with white externally and also on the inner web, but only 

 on one wing, so that this peculiarity may be due to albinism. 

 Dr. Reichenow, however, mentions individuals from German 

 East Africa which he believes to be l)ybrids between 

 H. crassirostris and H. leucoptera.
