tally barred with white. Underparts are whitish 

 with dark spots on the flanks. The adult male has 

 a small red streak, the 'cockade,' on each side of 

 the black cap, but this is rarely visible except 

 when the bird is displaying. The most distin- 

 guishing field mark is the black cap and nape sur- 

 rounding the large white cheek patch. 



The species is illustrated in Robbins et al. 

 (1966). Black and white photos appear in Mur- 

 phey (1939) and Jackson et al. (1976b).
