This specimen has been compared with, and, except for the sexual characteristics, 
agrees perfectly with the bird collected by Bohndorff in the Niam-niam country, 
and which has been referred by Sharpe and Hargitt to this species. Reichenow, 
however, states that Heuglin’s type, which is preserved in Stuttgart, is unique, 
and that Bohndorfi’s specimen probably belongs to some other species (cf. 
Ornith. Monatsber. iv. p. 130).
