Adult male. — Like that of Lophortyx douglasii douglasii but with 

 shorter wing, 101-104 (as opposed to 109-114) ; with the longest sec- 

 ondaries reaching the tips of the primaries (in douglasii the primaries 

 extend 15-20 mm. beyond the secondaries) in the closed wing; and 

 with the general coloration darker, the reddish brown on the wings 

 chestnut instead of Sanford's brown (as in douglasii), the lower back 

 and rump more brownish; the gray of the breast darker — neutral gray 

 (pale neutral gray in douglasii) and the white spots on the abdomen 

 with blackish ringlike edges.
