F. h. iberiae
(
Witherby, 1928
)
Muscicapa hypoleuca iberiae
Witherby, 1928
: 591
.
Type locality Segovia, Spain.
The
holotype
(male;
NHMUK
1929.1.15.1) is deposited at the
Natural History Museum
(
Tring
,
UK
).
This
subspecies is sometimes not recogniZed because it is geographically and morphologically intermediate between
F. h.
hypoleuca
and
F. h. speculigera
(
Bonaparte, 1850
)
(
von
Jordans
& Steinbacher 1942;
Vaurie
1954
; del
Hoyo
et al
. 2006
).
There
is also disagreement as to whether it should be treated as a synonym of
F. h.
hypoleuca
(
e.g.
,
Vaurie
1954
;
Mayr
&
Cottrell
1986
) or of
F. h. speculigera
(
e.g.
,
Curio
1960
).
This
subspecies breeds in the
Iberian Peninsula
, wintering in
western Africa
(
Clements
et al
. 2015
).
