Answer is: unidentified; liable.

There are two requirements for a principal to be unidentified: the third party involved must have knowledge there is a principal, but; the third party does not know who the principal is. In the example, Andrew knows Bill owns a company but he is not sure about the name of Bill's company. Then, in Bill-Andrew contracts, Andrew knows Bill may be acting on behalf of his own company (under his name) or a different organization, hence, there is a principal. The latter makes Bill an unidentified principal implying he is liable for the decisions taken on the contracts.
