J, Avera, Aroa River, 3. vi. 03. (No. A 596.) This specimen is evidently 

 abnormal, the rectrices being creamy white with a grey tinge, and the feet are 

 very pale. The iris was dark brown. The rump and upper tail-coverts are 

 also lighter. The crown is more rufescent, but this is probably due to immaturity.
