Caught on wrist. 9th. one egg broke

246 Harpophylycus var. palmar? 12.2x3.0 ♂
Somehow this bird does not look to me
like var. palmar, the colors are too
much faded and blended in appearance. As I have no specimen
convenient for comparison I only
speak from memory of their appearance. Was not as shy as
I have usually found var palmar.
Bill black. Legs brown.
