Birds from Negros, even farther west, are quite variably intermediate between alopex and tweeddalei. Birds from Samar, to the north and east of Leyte, are also variably intermediate between alopex and tweeddalei, but in some respects, especially the colder tones of the flank colour are nearest tweeddalei. Birds from the islands between Xcgros and Luzon (specimens examined from Panay, Marinduque, Tablas, and Ticao) appear t be slightly smaller than those from Luzon, hut are best called tweeddalei.
