This is the flag of Fuerza Universitaria Revolucionaria (FUR),
in Honduras. FUR surged after the Sandista revolution in
Nicaragua. It was the university students wing of the underground
Fuerzas Populares Revolucionarias Lorenzo Zelaya.
Today its the university students wing of Partido Unificación
Democrática.

I found a copy of an article from the heraldist prince George
Ypsilanti in 1943 in "Boletin de la Bibliotea y Archivo
Nacional" Año III, nº 6, dated 31 Octuber 1943, where are
quoted some XIX century party flags in Honduras. All party flags
are described and theres 11 parties (according text from 1821 to
1943). All are bicolored or monocolored flags.
There are three parties that have well known flags:
The federal party has as flag the B-W-B horizontal that remained
as national and that in 1821 was the one of the Federal Republic
of Central America. The Nationalist party and Liberal party have
same flags as today.
There are more parties that I need to search more on them:
- The Gasista (Colonial) Party
- The Peoples Party
- Cotorro Party (Guardiolist Party)
- Fiebres Party
- Policarpist Party
- Anexionist Party
- Separatist party
- Servil or Moderate party
According a presentation signed by Dr. Louis J. Joest, Ypsilanti
was a great expert in heraldry and lived in Honduras (was living
in 1943) Perhaps more articles from heraldry or vexillology were
wrote by Ypsilanti in Honduras in the years around 1943.
