Green-throated Greenbul (Andropadus chlorigula)

Immature, sex alike. Subspecies - none. Udzungwa Mts, June 2007. Copyright@; Louis A. Hansen. Adults have darker crown and complete eye ring. This immature shows a typical character of many species of birds namely soft yellow gape (however, it is wrong to think that only an immature can have this character - see e.g. Litttle Greebul [Andropadus virens]). I merely hope this photo can help “young” birders/and ringers to age some of their birds.
