Adult. Very closely resembling A. inauris in the pattern of color- 

 ation, although each of the brown and white feathers is the exact 

 reverse in pattern to those of the other .species. It differs from the 

 latter as follows : — The ear-wattle is less than half an inch in 

 length ; the forehead aud part of the crown are imiform blackish 

 brown, with hardly any pale central streaks; the feathers of the 

 hind neck, mantle, and whole back are greyish brown, each feather 

 with a conspicuous white central streak; upper tail-coverts brown, 

 with broad Mhite margins ; centre of breast and abdomen bright 

 yellow ; the feathers of the rest of the underparts of the bodj- are 

 white, broadly margined on each side with pale brown ; throat uni- 

 form with the rest of the fore neck, not differing from the latter as 

 in the other species ; loral and subocular regions silky white ; base 

 of mandible dull brown ; " iris bright hazel-red ; feet brownish 

 flesh-colour; inside of mouth yellow" (Gould).
