This species was originally described by Muller from 
Abyssinia and Kordofan. The male collected at Arriro 
agrees perfectly with the original description and with 
examples in the British Museum from Bogos-land (Esler), 
having the wing 3*75 and the tail 33 inches in length, 
while the under wing-coverts, axillaries, inner margins of 
the quills, vent, and under tail-coverts are of the same pale 
vinaceous red. 
Birds from Lamu, Mombasa, and Dar-es-Salaam, as well 
as those from Gosa and Langomeri, in Equatorial Africa 
{Emin), also apparently belong to this species, but are some¬ 
what smaller, as shown by the measurements of both the 
wing and tail. A male has the wing 3 3, tail 2*6 inches; 
two females measure, wing 3*1, tail 2*7 inches. 
A number of birds from Zomba, British Central Africa, 
and other localities have been included in B. pallidus, but 
this identification does not appear to be quite satisfactory.
