The type-specimen, an adult male in the British Museum 

 Collection, obtained by Dr. Donaldson Smith at Ania, in 

 Northern Somaliland, was hitherto the only example known. 

 An adult female of this rare species was obtained by Mr. G. 

 W. Bury further east, at Burao, and I have thought it of

Adult female. Head, entire upper parts, and tail grey, 

 slightly tinged with olive; sides of the face and lores light
