Adult male. Has the entire upper parts, the wings and tail, as 

 well as their coverts, the top of the head and the hind neck very

 having the middle of the throat, the fore neck, and the chest uniform 

 deep rufous, the lower half of the face and the feathers of the neck 

 bordering the rufous being barred black and white, the chin having 

 a few similarly marked feathers mixed with the rufous ; undcrparts
