Seeing as the word "Tzipor" implies Tahor species of birds, why does the Torah insert the (otherwise superfluous) word "Tehorah"?

Chulin, 140a: In order to extrapolate that there is a 'Tzipor Tehorah' that is subject to an Asei - to preclude the Shechted bird of a Metzor 1 from the Heter.

Refer to 14:11:1:1 & 14:11:12:1.
