 the quills and coverts blackish brown; the smaller coverts with

 the greater coverts and all the quill-feathers, except the first, bor- 

 dered externally with the same color, very narrowly on the prima-

 bar, running nearly across its centre; tail with the centre feather, 

 outer web of first, and tips of all, blackish brown, the rest bright 

 chrome yellow; beneath yellow, washed with olive on the flanks,
