Saxicola dacotiae murielae Bannerman, 1913 OD here

I propose to name after my wife:

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

Muriel's Chat Saxicola dacotiae murielae Bannerman, 1913 EXTINCT [Alt. Canary Islands Stonechat ssp.]
Muriel Bannerman née Morgan (d.1945) was the first wife of Dr David Armitage Bannerman (1886–1979). He named the chat after her when she accompanied him on an expedition to the Canaries (1913).

P.S why the did not write David Armitage Bannerman (q.v.) as usual is unknown to me.

The Key to Scientific Names

Muriel Bannerman née Morgan (d. 1945) British naturalist, first wife of ornithologist David Bannerman (syn. Saxicola dacotiae).
