barred with orange, sometimes the bars traversing the feathers, at

 plain shoulder-patch; wing-coverts dark sepia -brown, with small 

 spots of deep orange, forming larger indents on the interior greater 

 coverts, the primary-coverts almost uniform dark brown ; quiUs dark 

 brown, inclining to paler and more ashy bro^vn at the tips of the
