A bird of very doubtful status. It is like F. i. emini, but 

 it has the red-brown markings on tho underside of F. clap- 

 pertoni gedgei. It may be a hybrid, or it may be merely a 

 phase of i'"". /. emini. I do not for a moment think it is a 

 true species, but I have no means of disproving that it is.
