The pattern on the underside of the tail would support this from what I can see, though it would be nice if you could get some better shots of that. If you did mean Kloss's, the underside of the tail is wrong for that group as they are predominantly white with a dark outer edge only though Kloss's is, out of that complex, closer to Claudia's undertail wise. Behaviour would also obviously support Hartert's, typical of the Blyth's complex as you know. I agree, it certainly doesn't look like a typical Claudia's, though I have seen some rather bright yellow toned birds, the coronal tends to remain white.Interesting bird, a very nice find and relocation, think you might have to put a bit more time in on this one.</blockquote>
