Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   Good record! Juveniles molt from a brown throat without a throat band, to a throat with a narrow, reddish throat band - the narrow black band is very interesting - previously unrecorded? (can't find any other similar record).
