Adult male. General colour above chocolate-brown on the hind 

 neck, mantle, and back ; the scapulars, lower back, riimp, and upper 

 tail-coverts darker and more sooty brown ; lesser and median wing- 

 coverts blue-black; greater coverts, bastard-wing, and primary-coverts 

 dark brown, the quills and tail-feathers blackish brown ; crown of 

 head and nape blue-black ; lores and feathers round the eye velvety 

 black ; ear-coverts blackish with a slight blue gloss ; cheeks and 

 chin blackish brown, edged with white ; throat, breast, and abdomen 

 white, the feathers on the throat and chest more or less mottled with 

 dark-brown bases to the feathers; sides of breast and flanks daik 

 brown ; thighs white ; vent and under tail-coverts blackish brown ; 

 axillaries and under wing-coverts dark brown ; quills dark brown 

 below. Total length 4-S inches, culmen 0-2b, wing 3-5, tail 2-4, 

 tarsus 0'4. 



Adult female. Similar to the male in colour. Total length 

 4"8 inches, culmen 0-3, wing 3-7, tail 2-2, tarsus 0'45. 



The only difference which I can detect between specimens of this 

 species is a greater or less amount of mottling on the throat, owing 

 to the way in which the brown bases of the feathers show through. 

 This may be caused, it appears to me, by the abrasion or wearing 

 away of the white edges to the feathers.
