 This species exactly resembles the preceding, except that the 

 plumage of both the upper and under parts is distinctly suffused 

 •with rufous, which is especially pronounced on the rump and upper 

 tail-coverts, and considerably so on the breast, flanks, and under 

 tail-coverts. The legs, feet, and claws are slaty brown. Length 

 of wing 2-7 to 2-'ib inches, tail 2-3 to l-9o, culmen 0-7 to 0-6. 

 The second primary is generally equal to the fourth, occasionally a 

 trifle longer or a trifle shorter.
