Observation details
I left a few unidentified to subspecies, three of which had greater than average orange below including some in the vent, but with griseus-like dirty barring and spotting across breast and thinner golden barring above. Whether those are griseus or intergrades I do not know. The bird pictured below I think is likely another hendersoni. When this bird was turned away and bent over feeding, you could see orange between the legs and through the vent, though the rear flanks lack orange. The upperparts of this bird are not broadly barred with gold, but it is brighter than the griseus feeding behind it. Will leave it unlabeled for now.
