Remarks

» This bird has only red on forehead like ssp rufifrons and not red onto crown like ssp smithi. But ssp rufifrons should not be found in this area (it should be 250 km northeast of this area) Several birds where seen in this area in 2016 and 2017 - all (up to 3 together) had only red on forehead. Several individuals have been photographed.
