This bird varies from our European species in the buff colour 
being considerably darker, and the spots on the abdomen being 
larger and more deeply marked than is usual in our own. In 
our species, however, there is considerable variety ; and as we 
have had an opportunity of examining but a single specimen 
from New Holland, and that in rather inferior condition, we do 
not wish to state with any confidence an opinion as to the 
identity of these birds.
