Little Greenbul (Andropadus virens)

Adult, sex alike (plumage wise). Subspecies possible zombensis. Closeup of head area. Udzungwa Mts, June 2007. Copyright@; Louis A. Hansen. Photo not entirely correctly exposed (?) therefore the colours seems too greyish, will see to upload more pictures of this species. Important to note for those who are not familiar with this (common) species is that the adult’s always have soft yellow gapes! It is not an indication of a young bird in this species. There are also a few others species that shows these soft yellow gapes in the adult plumage.
