Literature. 



The Dark-flanked Wattled Lapwing is a southern race of the Grey-flanked Wattled Specific 

 Lapwing, and principally difi'ers from it when adult in having a black band across the 

 flanks and belly. It has still more white on the secondaries than its near ally, the dasal 

 two thirds of the outermost being wJiite. This character applies to young birds as well as 

 to adults.
