The Slender-billed Red-winged Starling is a rare and local 

 species. It was not met with by the Blundell-Lovat, Pease, 

 or Harrison expeditions to Southern Abyssinia. 



Dr. Sharpe {op. cit.) has already pointed out that the 

 plumage of the female is different to that of the male, the 

 feathers of the head and neck being spotted at the tips with 

 grey and the rest of the contour-feathers margined with the 

 same colour.
