Adult female. Resembles 0. cailliaiidi iu having the chin and 

 throat spotted, but is much smaller and differs iu having the back, 

 rump and upper tail-coverts, scapulars, and wing-coverts olive -with 

 lougitudiual spots of yellow, also in the abdomen and vent being 

 spotted with black like the rest of the underparts. The upper parts 

 somewhat resemble those of C. halia, but the present species may 

 be distinguished from the latter by the absence of the black stripe 

 behind the eye, by the tail-feathers being spotted on the margin 

 instead of barred, also in the entirely spotted abdomen and vent, 

 and the smaller dimensions. Total length 6"5 inches, culmen 0*G7, 

 wing 3-65, tail 2*2, tarsus 0-65 ; toes (without claws) — outer ante- 

 rior 0*5, outer posterior 0-43, inner anterior O'-l, inner posterior 0-22. 



Adult male. Has the forehead and crown, as well as the occiput 

 and nape, crimson. In other respects it resembles the adult female.
