Description |
♂ Tockus (erythrorhynchus) rufirostris (Sundevall), 1850 Afrikaans: 'n Volwasse Rooibekneushoringmannetjie. Volwasse mannetjies is herkenbaar aan die lang snawel en swarterige ondersnawel. Die ras, soms beskou as 'n spesie, is herkenbaar aan die bleek iris, rosige oogring en aansienlik gestreepte nek.
English: An adult male Southern Red-billed Hornbill. Adult males are recognizable by the long bill and swarthy lower mandible. The race, sometimes considered a species, is distinguishable by the pale iris, pink eye-ring and extensively streaked side of the neck.
The above specimen is likely from a farm near Windhoek, Namibia, and Finch-Davies had evidently been gaining experience of both the Southern and Damaraland species for some time:

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
