The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

Collared Inca ssp. Coeligena torquata margaretae Zimmer, 1948
Margaret Zimmer née Thompson (d.1945) married the describer in 1917. Although there is nothing in Zimmer's etymology we believe this to be named after his (late) wife.

The Key to Scientific Names

Margaret Louise Zimmer née Thompson (d. 1945) wife of US ornithologist John T. Zimmer (subsp. Coeligena torquata).

Maybe it is time tio explore her birth year?
