 with black, the bars being sometimes only a third the width of the 

 rufous interspaces : occasionally the bars on the back are reduced 

 to transverse spots, and the wing-coverts only slightly spotted with 

 black ; the lateral tail-feathers as well as the basal poition of the 

 others are barred rufous and black ; the hind neck is uniform rufous 

 like the top of the head, and the head, chin, and throat are rather 

 darker than in C. tinnunculus, and the under wing-coverts are also 

 more rufous. Total length 10'7 inches, culmen 1'33, wing 642,
