Bonnie Blue Flag Bonnie Blue Flag The Bonnie Blue Flag was an unofficial banner of the Confederate States of America at the start of the American Civil War in 1861. It now often serves as a representative banner of the southeastern United States in general. It consists of a single, five-pointed white star on a blue field. It closely resembles the flags of the short-lived Republic of West Florida of 1810, Congo under Belgian rule, and Somalia. The first recorded use of this flag (typically with a white star) was in 1810 when it was used to represent the Republic of West Florida,
White-bellied blue robin suggested for "S. albiventris". The white-bellied blue robin ("S. albiventris") has a black face mask with a short whitish brow. The upperside and breast are slaty blue grading to grey on the flanks. The centre of the belly and vent is white. This can appear somewhat like the male of the syntopic white-bellied blue flycatcher ("Cyornis pallipes") but can be distinguished by behaviour apart from the longer legs and greyer colouration. Although the plumage is identical between males and females, males are slightly longer winged and have longer tarsi. In 1867, W T Blanford described a new species "Callene albiventris"
