Similar to L. collurio, but more intensely coloured ; crown of

 darker towards the front of the head, the region round the eye, and 

 the ear-coverts ; none of these parts are so decidedly black as in L. 

 collurio ; mantle, scapulars, the whole back, and the upper tail-coverts 

 deep chestnut-brown ; quills and wing-coverts dark brown, the latter

 creamy tips, the next pair with large white tips, and the outermost 

 one is nearly all white, the blackish-brown colour being restricted to 

 the immediate neighbourhood of the shaft ; under wing-coverls dusky 

 grey at base, white at tip : quills below with a large patch of white, 

 rest dusky, inner margins creamy or fulvous; under surface of body 

 creamy^ white ; " bill black, the gape and greater portion of the

 pale reddish brown ; eyehds bluish grey " ( Oates). Total length about
