Two specimens in the Whitehead collection have the somewhat 

 smaller measurements of M. minor, but are identical in plumage 

 with typical M. tusalia, the colour of the back, wings, and tail 

 being absolutely similar. The female type of 21. minor has the back 

 unusually dark and almost devoid of all trace of rufous cross-bars. 

 The pair of birds sent home by "Whitehead are the first really fine 

 specimens that have been brought to Europe, and they seem to . 

 show that though some examples of M. minor are darker than 

 typical M. tusalia, others are indistinguishable in plumage, and only 

 differ in their somewhat smaller size.
