patch; wing-coverts, except the primary coverts, broadly edged with gray 

 like the back; innermost secondaries almost entirely so; inner web of 

 the quills white at the base, forming a broad bar on the under surface of 

 the wing; edge of wing grayish white. Middle tail-feathers uniform 

 slate-gray; the following pairs black, the outermost with a wedge-shape 

 white spot on the inner web at the end, making on the innermost only 

 one-fifth of the length of the quill, on the middle one about one-half, and 

 on the outermost about two-thirds, the outer webs being light slate-gray 

 for the same extent from the tip. Bill black, legs pale brownish yellow. 

 The female seems to differ from the male in having the gray color of the 

 breast less pure, this part being somewhat suffused with rufous-olive."

"Whole upper parts slaty plnmbeous with a conspicuous olivaceous 

 wash, becoming more intense on the lower back, but lacking on the rump 

 and upper tail-coverts. The pattern of the head that of AI. genibarbis, 

 except that the black stripe below the eye extends further back on the 

 auriculars, and that the white part of the malar stripe occupies the forward 

 half Chin pure white, this color abruptly defined against the throat, 

 which is rufous chestnut. The remaining underparts like those of the 

 Martinque bird, except that the gray of the breast extends more back on 

 the abdomen. Wings and tail also have the same general appearance as 

 in the above-mentioned-species ; on the wing, however, the black specu- 

 lum of the secondaries is more reduced, the adjacent gray cross-bands 

 being broader, and on the tail the white is more extended, especially on 

 the outer pair, in which the middle third of the outer web is white; 

 besides, the outer webs of the three outermost rectrices are broadly tipped 

 with white, and the following two pairs have also very distinct white tips. 

 Bill black, feet pale yellow. In none of the seven specimens before me 

 is the sex indicated ; but as they show no differences the specimen describ- 

 ed above, I presume there is no difference between the male and female."
