[As Mr. Jackson has pointed out, the male of this species 

 does not differ greatly from that of B. musicus, but is more 

 of an oily-greenish black on the back and throat. The 

 female, however, is easily recognisable from that of B. musicus 

 by its light cinnamomeous upper surface. — R. B. S.]

These birds seem partial to the very tops of the trees, and 

 are conspicuous from the white on their tail-feathers, which 

 arc nearly always spread out. They are pretty common 

 here. Their twittering is very similar to that of the Gold- 

 crest at home. Throughout the forest of Ruwenzori this 

 is, perhaps, the commonest bird, with the exception of the 

 Uganda White-eve.
