Range : North-eastern Cape in Mafeking district, north-western Orange Free State, south-eastern and eastern Botswana, the Transvaal (except south-eastern corridor), and Rhodesia in southern Matabeleland, the Midlands and southern Mashonaland. Intergrades in depth with E. I. ovam- boensis in western Rhodesia and adjacent Botswana, and with E. 1. zambe- siana in south-eastern Fig. 1: Left, Erythropygia leucophrys pectoralis. Right, Erythropygia leucophrys ovamboensis. Note whiter malar streak, vestigial ventral streaking and paler col- ouration in ovamboensis. (e) Erythropygia leucophrys ovamboensis Neumann Erythropygia inunda ovamboensis Neumann, 1920, J. Ornith. 68, p. 83: „Ombongo and Ovakenyama, in northern German South-West Afrika" = Bongo R., Okavango, north-eastern South-West Africa (vide Mackworth-Praed and Grant, 1963, Birds Southern Third Africa 2, p. 182). Synonym : Erythropygia leucoptera permútala Grote, 1930 Sometimes incorrectly given as permuta in the literature. Dorsally similar to E. 1. simulator, but often a little greyer over the head-top, hind and sides of the neck, these surfaces more contrasted against the back, and rather brighter over the rump and upper tail-coverts. Differs sharply from the other southern races of the Whitebrowed Scrub Robin in having the breast, sides and flanks warm vinaceous or Cinnamon-.
