neck, extreme upper back, shoulders of wing and upper breast

plumage iDlack, each feather .with numerous semi-concentric bars 



of buff, a terminal ocellus of white surrounded with olive-brown and 



black, and two sub-terminal ocelli of deep maroon red, surrounded 



in the same way as the white. The basal mottlings of black and 



buff are almost entirely concealed, so that the upper plumage

next to these are black bars and then still broader ones of red-brown 



fading into the white. Tail black, the feathers with irregular 



broken bars of rich buff on the basal thirds. 



Shoulders of wing crimson-red ; bastard wing light brick-red on 



the outer, mottled with black on the inner webs ; wing-coverts 



like the back ; primaries and outer secondaries brownish black 



with broken buff bars, obsolete on the inner webs of the primaries. 



Lower breast and abdomen smoky grey, the centres paler and 



showing up fairly distinctl}'" against the rather darker margins. 



The flanks and thighs with black and buff mottlings and these parts 



with vent, and sometimes the under tail-coverts, are splashed with 



crimson-red.

commissure and gape paler, and tinged with fleshy ; legs dull 



reddish or yellow-brown, becoming brighter and redder in the
