24. FEINGILLA. 171 



The male in seasonal pluinage is much duller thau in summer, 

 all the feathers being obscured with ashy brown, the tips to the 

 greater and median wing-coverls being white instead of bluish 

 white ; the margins of the inner secondaries are also tinged with 

 olive. The full plumage appears to be gained by the shedding 

 of the brownish tips to the grey feathers and by the moulting of the 

 wing-coverts. 



Adult female. Differs from the male in being olive-brown instead 

 of blue ; the margins of the wing-coverts and quills olive, greyish 

 on the edge of the primaries, the median coverts tipped with greyish 

 white, the greater coverts also greyish white at the ends ; upper 

 tail-coverts ashy ; tail-feathers dusky, with ashy margins ; head like 

 the back ; sides of face and under surface of body pale ashy grey, 

 washed with brown on the throat and ear-coverts ; abdomen and 

 under tail-coverts white ; lores ashy whitish ; a white spot on the 

 upper and under edge of eyelid : "bill horn-colour, the lower mandible 

 paler than the upper ; feet as in the male " ( Webb and Berthelot). 

 Total length 6*2 inches, culmen 07, wing 3'5, tail 2*9, tarsus 09.
