 ochraceous buff on the abdomen; buffy white on thighs and under tail 

 coverts; sides of body and flanks with large rounded black spots; a few 

 narrow elongated black spots on the abdomen, largely confined to the 

 middle of the feathers ; under wing coverts white with a few black spots 

 largely confined to the inner portion; tail feathers tipped with whitish;

Peruvian specimens (males) from Mirador, Macate, Menocucho, 

 Chachapoyas, and Balsas, apparently represent this subspecies. The 

 measurements of the males from Chachapoyas, Balsas, and Macate are 

 about the same: wing, 177 to 181 ; tail, 131 to 135. Those from Mirador 

 and Menocucho are somewhat larger: wing, 183 to 185; tail, 136 to 140.
