point); and the rump deep black ; the back, scapulars; 

 and long tertials, are varied with deep black, and clear 

 brownish-orange, some of the feathers being entirely 

 of either colour, while others have the basal half, or the 

 shafts only, black, and these colours do not seem to be 

 disposed regularly, or the same in different specimens ; 

 the outer margins of the scapulars are narrowly edged 

 with white, which mixes conspicuously in the general 

 mass ; the wings are dark brownish black, the second- 

 aries with a broad white tip forming a bar across the 

 wing ; the base of the outer webs of the last quills are 

 also white, showing a triangular spot adjoining to the 

 bar ; the upper tail-coverts lie over the tail, so as to con- 

 ceal the whole of the basal white, and make it appear 

 entirely dark with a white tip ; the feet and legs are 

 bright orpiment orange.
