These images of the dark batis are courtesy of Louis A. Hansen who comments: adult male, left & adult female, no subspecies recognized, Udzungwa Mts, June 2007. Formerly thought a variation of (or subspecies within) the Batis mixta complex. Jon Fjeldså, Rauri C. K. Bowie and Jacob Kiure later described it as a full and valid species. The characters that distinguish the two mentioned taxa: male has no white supercilium stripe; female has chestnut-cinnamon wing coverts. |
