Comment:   This record falls in the small (±50km?) overlap zone where both Chinspot Batis and Pririt Batis occur. In this zone, there is interaction between the two, including imitation of call in order to establish interspecific territories. White, unmarked flanks point to Chinspot Batis, but little is know about possible inter-breeding and it is well possible that Pririt Batis in the overlap zone could have white flanks as well.
