but under parts paler, browner, and less blackish; rump and upper 

 tail-coverts distinctly paler, more ashy, the upper tail-coverts in 

 particular much lighter and tipped with whitish; under tail-coverts 

 slightly paler.

 color, brown and less ashy, and the upper tail-coverts show no whitish 

 borders or tips. Ridgway (Birds of North and Middle America, 1911,

 describes that form, probably not having seen true C. b. brachyura.
