there are many red herrings in the story but the most obvious is the gypsies
The gypsies.
The gypsies are an excellent example of red herrings, as are the jungle animals.

Helen's sister Julia had cried out before dying, "It was the band, Helen. The Speckled Band." Holmes said later that his first thought was of the "band" of gypsies, some of whom may have worn speckled headbands or clothing.
