Lanius excubitor elegans Swainson, 1832 LITERATURE. — Dowsett (1993); Balanca & de Visscher (1997); Borrow & Demey (2001, 2014); Balanca et al. (2007); Sinclair & Ryan (2010); Dowsett et al. (2013). FIELD DATA. — GBIF; WABD. STATUS. — Afrotropical migrant. REMARKS. — Often included in L. meridionalis (Temminck, 1820), now considered monotypic (del Hoyo & Collar, 2016), L. e. elegans is the only subspecies certainly present in Burkina Faso as a scarce dry season visitor (Balanca & de Visscher 1997; Borrow & Demey 2001). The presence of L. e. leucopygos Erhenberg, 1833, the subspecies breeding in Mali and Niger, in the extreme north of the Burkina Faso is also possible following Borrow & Demey (2014). The taxonomy of the L. excubitor complex is very complicated and not fully resolved (Olsson et al. 2010), and the assessment of Burkina Faso subspecies needs revision. ... : Published as part of Boano, Giovanni, Belemsobgo, Urbain, Silvano, Fabrizio, Hema, Emmanuel M., Belemsobgo, Aristide, Dimobe, Kangbéni & Pavia, Marco, 2022, An annotated checklist of the birds of Burkina Faso, pp. 27-107 in Zoosystema 44 (2) on page 75, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2022v44a2, http://zenodo.org/record/5999691 ...
