This example resembles more P. rufigula than P. r. lielviventris von Rosenberg. The 

 feathers behind the ey r e and along the sides of the occiput are grey with rufous-brown edgings. 

 According to Count SALVADORI lielviventris is found along the Fly River, whereas spécimens 

 collected at the Triton Bay belong to rufigula (Mus. Leyden and Tring). It is very likely 

 that along the Noord River the two forms meet each other.
