This bird is distinguishable from M. luteiventris by the much 

 whiter surface below and the very narrow shaft-spots of the breast. 

 By the latter character it is also separable from M. audax. It is, 

 however, merely an intermediate form, and passes into its northern 

 and southern representatives at the extremities of its range.
