 Yerv similar to D. rvfivenUis in general distribution of colours ; 

 but the following differences suffice to separate this form :- — 

 All the upper parts glossy are black, most of the feathers of the 

 lower back and rump with conspicuous white subterminal spots ; 

 rnmp scarcely tipped or washed with fawn-colour ; lower parts paler 

 than in D. rujivcntris, of a creamy buff colour, paler and more pinkish 

 on the cheeks and throat ; abdomen, thighs, and under tail-coverts 

 rather more richly coloured, like the under wing- coverts ; some 

 feathers near the edge of the wing forming a black spot like the edge 

 itself. 



A young male, almost adult, moulting, has all the brownish-black 

 feathers of the upper parts narrowly edged with buff'; chest and 

 throat white, variegated with very irregular faint grey bars.
