I never see anyone say ooh they should be kept apart from T.h.kazachstanica and T.h.rustamovi in the same way that they say THH, THB and THHerc should be, why is that then?

How many types of HORSFIELDS are there then?

lovely little missy, i thought there were 3 or 4 different Horsfields x

There are T.h.horsfieldii, T.h.kazachstanica, T.h.rustamovi and I think Danny said they either have or are going to recognise 2 more.
