Photographic material with heterocylic azo dye for the silver dye bleach process

A photographic recording material for the silver dye bleach process, which material contains in at least one silver halide emulsion layer, or in a colloidal layer adjacent to said layer or layers, at least one oil-soluble azo dye of the formula ##STR59## wherein D is the group of atoms necessary to complete a 5-membered ring selected from the group consisting of pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl, thiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, and isothiadiazolyl rings or the derivatives thereof which are fused with a benzene ring,
