No doubt the genus name Eminia and Stanley's expedition to rescue Emin Pasha in the darkest Congo 1886-1890.  'You've got here in the nick of time, Henry, and while you're here I'd like you to take a look at this interesting little grey-capped bird I've managed to get hold of.  Do you suppose it could be new to science?'

A related topic did appear in these columns several years ago and it could be a race  between erudite birders for the first correct answer.

 

What is the connection between the explorer Henry Morton Stanley  and the grey capped warbler.
