Schoeniparus dubius genestieri (Oustalet, 1897) OD here

Cette espèce, dédiée au P. Genestier, l'un des membres de la mission de Tsékou, se distingue facilement de toutes les autres espèces du genre Alcippe par les teintes et les dessins de son plumage, qui, considéré sous un certain jour, offre un aspect légèrement écailleux sur les parties supérieures du corp, grâce à de lisérés noirs, peu distincts, qui bordent les plumes de la tête et du dos.

...I understood he died 9. January 1937. But when and where was he born? From here I would say b. 16. April 1858 in Chambon sur Dolore. (archive en ligne seems not to work for me. Maybe wrong browser). Should be to find here his birth.
