Adult male. General colour dark slaty grey, with a slight greenish- 

 grey gloss ; least and median wing-coverts like the back ; greater 

 coverts slaty grey, with margins of dark ashy grey ; quills black ; 

 the secondaries with grey on the outer webs, the primaries narrowly- 

 margined with white ; tail-feathers black, tipped narrowly with 

 whitish ; a narrow frontal line ; lores and feathers in front of the 

 eye, feathers above the eye, sides of crown, cheeks, and ear-coverts 

 black, with a greenish gloss ; chin blackish at base ; throat and chest 

 dark grey ; rest of under surface white, barred across with black 

 transverse lines, wider apart and broader on the under tail-coverts ; 

 under wing-coverts white, barred with the same black cross lines 

 as the breast ; " bill, legs, and feet black ; iris crimson lake " {Hume). 

 Total length 11-3 inches, culmeu 1-1, wing 6-3, tail 5, tarsus 0*95. 



Adult female. Differs from the male in having the entire under 

 surface from the chin downwards barred with blackish cross Hues, 

 instead of the throat and breast being grey : thighs slaty black. 

 Total length 12 inches, culmen 1"1, wing 6'05, tail 5-3.5, tarsus 

 0-95. 



Young. " Whole chin, throat, and breast strongly tinged with 

 ferruginous, the tertiaries, secondaries, and later primaries com- 

 paratively broadly margined and tipped with pale rufous or rufescent 

 white ; the tertiaries and later secondaries have also a rufous spot 

 near the point, and exhibit traces of having been barred : some of 

 the upper tail-coverts, some of the scapulars, and a few of the back- 

 feathers still remain rufous barred with blackish brown, peeping out 

 amongst the new iron-grey feathers : a dull rufous supercilium run- 

 ning from the nostrils over the eyes : the lores are dusky, with tiny 

 white spots, and the cheeks also are dusky, the feathers white- 

 shafted, and, from what I can judge, the whole upper surface of the 

 nestling bird must be banded rufoiis aud dark brown. In other spe- 

 cimens further advanced the ferruginous patch is smaller and con- 

 fined to the breast ; no banded feathers remain on the upper surface, 

 which is like that of the adult, and the conspicuous rufous margins 

 of the quills have become narrower and paler."' (Hume.)
