The juvenile specimen is about half grown. Its crown and back 

 are speckled, buff on dusky ground, and the fore breast is also spec- 

 kled, dusky on cinnamon ground. Its white flanks, black spot on 

 abdomen and broad post-ocular lines of white meeting on the occi- 

 put are adolescent characters. The proximal portion of its tarso- 

 metatarsus has more than twice the lateral width of the same part 

 of the adult and is deeply grooved anteriorly.
