This was not the typical Sooty I have always seen, but had a very reddish tail and wings, and a bicolored bill (yellow on the bottom) and a white spot at the lower end of the malar stripe. I take this to be the Slate-colored type via Sibley, but am confused by the subspecies designated by National Geo.
