from Andy Whittaker
H. minor is complex types need to be examined to sort it out ; two vocal types
occur south of the Amazon almost sympatric in some areas west of Rio Madeira
one in terra firme and the other in varzea/Igarape type forest. North of the
Amazon such as Anavilhanas its one voice, however DNA needs to sort
out if this form is truly different.
