 (1870).

 slightly mottled with dusky subterminal markings on the feathers ; 

 lesser wing-coverts like the back; median coverts and greater 

 coverts, bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and quills blackish, with 

 ashy margins, a little more distinct on the inner secondaries; the 

 middle primaries white at the base of the outer web, forming a 

 small speculum ; upper tail-coverts blackish, broadly edged with 

 ashy; tail-feathers black, with narrow ashy margins; crown of 

 head slaty grey like the back, the hinder crown and occiput 

 mottled with black bases to the feathers ; fore part of the crown 

 entirely black : lores black, with a narrow white line above ; feathers 

 round eye and ear-coverts black, the latter washed posteriorly 

 with slaty grey ; cheeks, throat, and sides of neck white, followed 

 by a broad band of black across the fore neck ; sides of the latter, 

 as well as the sides of the chest and breast, sides of body and 

 flanks light slaty grey ; the centre of the breast and abdomen, as 

 well as the under tail-coverts, white ; thighs white, black poste- 

 riorly ; under wing-coverts and axillaries white, the lower coverts 

 forming a dusky patch near the edge of the wing ; quills below 

 blackish, white at the base of the inner web, which is edged with 

 ashy. Total length 4-3 inches, culmen 0'4, wing 2-2, tail 1-8, 

 tarsus 0-6. 



In seasonal plumage the grey colour is very much lighter on the 

 upper parts, also pervading the head, so as to leave only the fore- 

 head black; the wing-coverts and quills, especially the inner 

 secondaries, are broadly margined with ashy ; the tiny white mark 

 on the lores is more distinct ; the black collar has the feathers 

 edged with ashy.
