I have no clue if Achille Colsons bataillon (or any he was associated with) was in Algeria in 1850 but a naturaliste would somehow fit.

A. Colsoni is named for two French soldiers named Colson . One was a naturalist in the 67th and 75th regiments of the line in the late 1840’s. He got a grave malady while a naturalist (Im guessing Malaria) not necessarily in Algeria. Achille Louise-Aug. Colson 1815 to 1856) His first cousin in the time range for the bird was stationed in province Constantine in Algeria. Their common grandfather was a doctor. I assume this is where they learned anatomy, botany and zoology. The other cousin became a general and was killed in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. I think he killed the bird sent the three to his cousin who could not identify them and on and on. I think there use to be a middle form of Imperial Eagle which was extirpated by climate change
