MINDANAO RHINOMYIAS.
- Rhinomyias ruficauda mindanensis Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. (1909), 36, 439.
“The series of this genus in the U. S. Nat. Mus. shows that there are three geographical forms of the rufous-tailed flycatcher, from the islands of Basilan, Mindanao, and Samar respectively.
“Compared with the Samar and Mindanao forms the Basilan form, Rhinomyias ruficauda ruficauda, has the under parts whiter, middle of chest grayer, sides of chest and flanks a grayer brown, with entire side of head slate-gray.
“R. mindanensis and samarensis both have brown cheeks and differ from each other in size the Mindanao form being larger. The upper surfaces are of a lighter, more olivaceous, and less rufescent color.” (Mearns.)
