 horn-colour, lower whitish ; feet pale brown : whole length 6 inches,

Nearly allied to R. olivaceus, but apparently without the fulvous 

 colour on the upper wing-coverts, brighter on the belly, and with a 

 much shorter tail. In the form of the bill it comes nearer to R. 

 olivaceus than to the northern R. brevirostris, but is intermediate 

 between the two.
