Adult male. Similar to S. atpensis, but distinguished by its 

 brighter colour and the chestnut tinge on the head, sides of face, 

 throat, and fore neck : " bill black, greenisli yellow at base ; tarsi 

 and feet pale yellowish ; iris pale chrome or pale tawny yellow '' {T. 

 Aifres). Total length 6-8 inches, culmen 095, wing 3'6, tail 2-2, 

 tarsus 1"05. 



Adult female. Similar to the female of S. capensis : " upper 

 mandible light brown, the lower one straw-colour; feet light brown ; 

 iris buff" {T. L. Ayres). Total length 6'4 inches, culmen 0-9, 

 wing 3-45, tail 2-1, tarsus 0-95. 



YoKHfj male. At first similar to the female, but showing more or 

 less chestnut on the throat as the moult progresses. The fact that 

 the male at once puts on the chestnut throat disposes of the notion 

 that this bright rufous colour is a sign of age.
