 Jowifh bay : the greater quil- feathers are black, 

 marked with white on their inner webs. The tail 

 is fhort, fpotted with white on the inner fides. 

 The legs flefh color. 



The great particularity of this bird, and what 

 diftinguifhes it from all others, is the form of the 

 ends of the middle quil-feathers-, which Mr. Ed- 

 wards juftly compares to the figure of fome of 

 the antient hattk-axes: thefe feathers are gloffed 

 over with a rich blue; but are lefs confpicuous in . 

 the female : the head in that fex is of dull olive, 

 tinged with brown ; it alfo wants the black fpot 

 under the chin.
