Adult male. All the upper parts except the uropygium are uni- 

 form pale brownish grey ; quills and wing-coverts light brown ; the 

 latter and the secondary quills with the usual paler (here fulvous) 

 margins ; some of the primaries have their basal end white (this 

 colour, as it sometimes extends further than the wing-coverts go, 

 often forms a very visible alar speculum, whilst on the other hand 

 it is often almost wanting) ; rump and upper tail-coverts rufous, the 

 taU-foathcrs themselves generally somewhat darker and often barred 

 with very faint darker waves ; frontal, loral, and superciliary regions 

 creamy, but never white ; ear-coverts and a very small spot just in 

 front of the eye brownish black ; throat, under wing-coverts, and 

 under tail-coverts very pale creamy ; all the rest of the underparts 

 more or less strongly washed with cream-colour (combined with a 

 slight rosy tinge), especially on the flanks and across the breast ; 

 feet black-brown ; bill horny brown, paler at the base. 



Adult female. Ear-coverts brown ; loral and superciliary streak 

 sometimes almost invisible.
