Just in case there was any doubt about the head colour of this bird in the Ukaguru Mts it is quite clearly
IRISH RED
my thanks to Mike McEnery for supplying the beard.
by shear coincidence this comes in from Jon a few days after I sent out my photo of this bird.
Louis, do pass on my photo to Jon.
Jacob was not with us in the Ukagurus, it was Nnyiti !!!!, not sure where this comes from. The Oxford student group went there to follow up our original work. They recaptured our ringed Rubeho Akalat, must also put this photo to the group.
Anyway, this is all good stuff, now need ALL your new Udzungwa spp so we can include them in next years new TZ species list, at least let's have them when they are in press...
what next ???? this story far from over.

Dear Neil and Liz
Finally, after a very slow refereeing process, the formal description of the Rubeho Warbler is now published.
