New bird species discovered in Africa

[peter crow <>]

John,

From my very uneducated reading of C& B this doesn't appear to be  
the case in their opinion. I am not taking any side but would like to  
know more. Is this new species more recent than C&Bs publication? Are  
they remiss?
RegardsPeter
